In the context of gardening where this question was asked, Packing Peanuts are more commonly made of starch for biodegradability. They are fully edible and will dissolve in water.

The term Packing Peanuts refers to 'Loosefill' which is a type of loose dunnage used to fill void and provide cushioning between a shipping container and its' contents. It can be made from expanded or extruded polystyrene foam. They various shapes that people often see are each pattented by different manufacturers but all popular shapes are designed to create an interlocking effect to avoid displacement of cargo being packed.

Packing Peanuts can also be coated with an anti-static component that avoids the condution of electricity. 'Anti-stat Peanuts' as with other anti-stat packing materials are often identified by an artifically added pink coloring component.
