Simply put, it refers to how fixed the structure of a protein is – if an enzyme has high conformational rigidity, the shape of the molecule doesn't readily change.

Thank you, that makes sense. How about the word conformation itself in terms of enzymes?

In the end, conformation is essentially the same thing as structure. So, provided you understand the that conformation is slightly more specific in its meaning as explained above, the two terms can more or less be used interchangeably.
