What does na.rm=TRUE actually means?

Whenever we have NA in our data,we used na.rm=TRUE to get proper results for mean,mode etc. What does na.rm do? I could understand that rm is for remove,which we even use for deleting variables.But why have we written na in small? R is case sensitive?And what does Boolean value TRUE does here?
