What is meant by statically relocated or static relocation of a segment

The elf format executable contains various segments like code, data, bss, stack etc. If we say that the segment xyz is statically relocated what does that mean?

The elf format binary contains relative addresses for each segment. When we say statically relocated does it mean that the relative addresses are actually the physical addresses?
