Phillips, or Phillips head, refers to the shape of the screwdriver's tip. It forms an X or a cross at the tip, instead of being straight as in a flat head.

Phillips head screws and screwdrivers are less likely to slip while being turned, but it's more important to use the right size to avoid damaging the screw head.
