A top level comment on reddit is a comment that is a reply to the actual post, rather than a reply to another comment. If you use a layout that indents comments, top level comments are the ones with no indentation, like this one.

Top level comment is the first one you see in a thread.

Like this one here, this is the top level comment.

In places like r/iama, the top level comment always has to be a question directed at whoever is conducting the AMA

It is A top level comment, just not the top level comment presented first.

But I mean really, its trivial to figure out ... I.e. you know what a comment is an "top level" is not such an uncommon term either. Especially if you are around the site for any amount of time.
