Hardiness zones are a way of describing the particular climate for growing plants in a given area or country. Zones 8-11 (which are a range of zones 8, 9, 10, and 11) are temperate to tropical. Zone 11 would never see freezing temperatures and would be a place you could grow fruits like bananas and citrus such as Bermuda or Hawaii. Zone 8 is more temperate and will see temperatures dip down below freezing--for example Scotland or Oregon. You won't be able to grow certain plants there that need long hot growing seasons or that would die in a cold winter. Sometimes when a site lists arrange like that it means you can grow plants that like all four of those zones (8 through 11) well in that region. Lucky you! I live in Bermuda and we can grow plants food in zones 9-11. :)
