It's a cardioid. The Wikipedia article on the Mandelbrot set explains this in some detail, and even has a section titled “main cardioid”:

Upon looking at a picture of the Mandelbrot set, one immediately notices the large cardioid-shaped region in the center. This main cardioid is the region of parameters $c$ for which $P_c$ has an attracting fixed point. It consists of all parameters of the form $$c = \frac\mu2(1-\frac\mu 2)$$ for some $\mu$ in the open unit disc.

The answers at Why does the boundary of the Mandelbrot set contain a cardioid? have a presentation of the cardioid's boundary that may be easier to deal with.
