SIMM stands for Single Inline Memory Module.

These memory chips came on a small IC board that you would snap in place into a socket. These were far easier to install, remove and upgrade then the old DIPP chips.

SIMM's were typically known for how many pins they had, with the common types being 30 pin & 72pin SIMMs.
