That's an example of a palindrome; a word or phrase spelled the same way backwards and forwards.
One of the most famous palindromes was a description of Theodore Roosevelt; "A Man, a Plan, A Canal; Panama!"
Racecar, spelled backwards, is also racecar. It is one of a small number of words that are the same forward and backward. These are called palindromes, a term which also includes phrases such as "Madam I'm Adam."

radar
redder
refer
reviver
a racecar-and a civic
A racecar - and a Civic :)

In the above equation, Hannah equals Hannah. The proof is that 'racecar' spelled backwards is 'racecar'. Hannah spelled backwards is Hannah. Both words are palindromes, words that are spelled the same forward and backward.
Both racecar and kayak are spelled the same forward and backward. These types of words and phrases are called "palindromes."

Kayak has more in common with a racecar than with a boat when you look at how each word is spelled backwards. 'Kayak' and 'racecar' are both palindromes - they are spelled the same way forward and backward. The same cannot be said for the word 'boat'.
