Hi Mallika,

Forward and Backward traceability is known as Bidirectional.
Forward traceability is from requirements to design to code to testcases.

Backward traceability is on the reverse direction , that the end product has met the requirements or not. It is very difficult to do this traceability without tool .
you can surf few links on it, like :-
