A wire-guided missile is a missile that is guided by signals sent to it via thin wires connected between the missile and its guidance mechanism, which is located somewhere near the launch site. As the missile flies, the wires are reeled out behind it (command guidance).
The wire behind a wire-guided missile is connected to the fire computer / guidance system. With that the operator in the tank / helicopter / bunker can control and steer the missile to its target. The missile does not steer itself, it is remote controlled via cable and not via radio.
