Metaphilosophy is to philosophy what philosophy of physics is to physics (or philosophy of biology is to biology): it studies questions at the foundation of the field. Questions like "what makes an argument uniquely philosophical?" or "why should we do philosophy?" or "what kinds of questions should philosophers spend their time on?" or "is there a meaningful distinction between analytic and continental traditions?" are all issues in metaphilosophy. The Cambridge "introductions to philosophy" series has a great survey of the field, if you're curious. I also like to point to Philip Kitcher's article "Philosophy Inside Out" as a nice example of metaphilosophical work.
