A transitive verb is an action verb used with a direct object.

Lets say socorrer means to aid.

Ella socorró elllo.

She helped him.

This is an example of when it is a transitive verb.

Versus an intransitive verb which has no direct object.

I can't think of one in spanish right now but in English "we arrived there" is an example.
