HTML (also called HTM because old DOS systems use 3-letter extensions) are "Hypertext Markup Language" files -- the text files a browser uses to display a web page. If you do VieW-> Source in Internet Explorer, the strange looking text you see is the HTML.
The labels inside the angle brackets
,
, and so on are called tags -- they specify how and where the text and other elements display on the web page. Tags like tell the browser to display the specified image.
HTML is just text, you can write and edit it in Notepad. The other elements on the page (images, graphics, etc.) are separate files.

An .HTM file is an .HTML document (.htm and .html are the same thing). These are plain-text documents that web browsers can read. If you open the file in Notepad or a text editor program, it will probably look like jibberish (which us nerds call code). Open it with an Internet Browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. It should look prettier.
Basically, an htm document is a web page that can only be read by a web browser. It's all text, but a web browser turns all that text into well-formatted, coloful paragraphs and images.

It's HTML - hyper text markup language. It's the programing "language" that all web pages use.
Look it up on wikipedia.com for more information.
