What does this hiragana word mean たべもの

The answer is 'food'. The word is consituted of '食べ' the verb stem of 食べる, to eat, and もの which describes a thing or a physical object as part of this word. Together it literally translates as 'eat' 'thing', something to eat, or food! Great!

[be] word used at sentence-end (like a particle) to indicate speculation, volition or invitation; familiar suffix used after a personal name

[be] surrounding area; shore (of the sea); suffix used as a rough indicator of location, direction, time, etc.
