Physical significance of Volumetric Flux

[muskie25]

Homework Statement

I am just a little bit confused. I have a question that is asking me to explain what the physical significance of volumetric flux is.

Homework Equations

I am not sure that this problem requires any equations!

The Attempt at a Solution

I know that the flux corresponds to the rate of volume flow through an area, but I feel like that can't be the answer.. It just seems to common sense to be the answer.
