Palindrome is the term you are looking for. A palindrome is a word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward. tTe word "palindrome" is of Greek origin, meaning running back again (palín = AGAIN + drom–, drameîn = RUN).
Here are a few ...
racecar, deed, level, pip, rotor, civic, pop, madam, eye, nun, radar, toot.

Palindromes.
A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units (such as a strand of DNA) that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted).
