A cumulonimbus cloud is a principal cloud type. It is exceptionally dense, and vertically developed. It can occur either as isolated clouds (single clouds by themselves) or as a line of clouds, or a wall of clouds. Their tops will have separated upper portions.
There are a number of cumulus type clouds:
Cumulus
Cumulonimbus
Cumulis Congestus
Cumulis Humilis
Cumulis Mediocris
They are all a form of dense cloud, with differing features. If you need more info, let me know.

You were attempting to spell cumulonimbus, I presume.
This is a taller cumulus-type cloud that is producing precipitation. The 'nimbus' suffix indicates that it is producing precipitation.
It may or may not be producing thunder and lightning though.
There are cumulonimbus clouds without an anvil [1] and cumulonimbus clouds with an anvil [2].

My 8th grade science teacher who could not simply say cumulonimbus - had to make it something different.
