It is:
1113213211
Explanation:
Each number, from the second line onwards, represents the frequencies of the digits in the previous line in the form $Af_ABf_BCf_C...$, where $A$, $B$ and $C$ are the different digits in order of appearence, and $f_{A,B,C}$ represents their frequency in every continuous set of equal digits.

11 one one
21 two ones
1211 one two and one one
111221 one one, one two, and two ones
