Morphology
The literal meanings of the parts ('fuck' as a vulgar sexual verb + 'your mother' as the addressee's parent) make the insulting sexual intent and target largely derivable from the constituents, so a learner who knows the words will recognize it as a severe obscene insult. However, the phrase's pragmatic force, usage as a generalized taboo expletive, and cultural implications are not fully predictable from word meanings alone, so full comprehension of its social weight requires extra pragmatic exposure.
Etymology
Fuck your mother uses the rude verb fuck with your mother to create a shocking image that attacks a person's family by suggesting a sexual act. So people use it as a very strong insult to show 'extreme anger' or 'contempt', and it is very 'offensive'.
