It's a palindrome - a word or phrase which reads the same backwards and forwards. An extension of this is 'Madam, I'm Adam'. Acronyms are words made up from abbreviated initials, such as NUT - 'National Union of Teachers'!

It's a palindrome because it's the same word read forward and backward. It would be an acronym if each letter in M.A.D.A.M stood for word. For example, the acronym M.A.D.D stands for Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

It's a palindrome - it reads the same from either end.
An acronym is a word made up of the initials of other words, I can't think of a good one, but ROSPA (ROyal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) or CAMRA (CAmpaign for Real Ale) are examples

It would be a palindrome, except you have a capital letter at the front, so reversing it would give you 'madaM', which isn't a word.
