You may be referring to 'gender neutral nouns' as opposed to 'neuter nouns'.

A gender neutral noun (also called a common gender noun) is a word that can be used for a male or a female, for example, parent, doctor, pharmacist, bird, cat, elephant, etc.

A neuter noun is a word for something that has no gender, for example a boat, a sample, an idea, a rock, a sandwich, a door, etc.
