What is a "chamois" in a bicycle short?

I'm shopping for bike shorts for my dad for Christmas. He does a significant amount of biking in the summer. I know he wants the padded kind. I'm looking at "De Marchi Aero Shorts." It says something about an antimicrobial chamois. Is that the same thing as padding? Does anyone know if that brand has a good reputation?
