A palindrome is a word or sentence that is the same spelled forward or backward. For example, take a look at the following sentence: "Madam, I'm Adam". If you omit the punctuation, you can see that the letters spell the same thing forward and backward.
There are lots of words that are palindromes including:
dad,
deified,
kayak,
mom,
repaper,
reviver,
rotator,
and radar.

palindrome are those type of words whose spelling remains same even if you read them in reverse order
By the definition
The word palindrome is derived from the Greek palíndromos, meaning running back again (palín = AGAIN + drom–, drameîn = RUN). A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same in both directions.
Some simple examples are:
RACECAR
DEED
LEVEL
PIP
ROTOR
CIVIC
POP
MADAM
EYE
NUN
RADAR
TOOT
