You are probably referring to "organic" compounds.
Organic chemistry is simply the study of carbon-containing compounds, but especially the study of carbon-hydrogen compounds, of which there are probably infinite possibilities when these two atoms are combined with other elements/radicals. This is partly because the carbon atom has a valence of 4, giving it many possibilities for bonding, and also because carbon can combine to itself to form very long chains called polymers.
In any case, an organic compound is any compound that contains carbon.
