https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/systems-manager-parameter-store.html#what-is-a-parameter

A parameter is any piece of data saved in the Parameter Store. Three types are supported: String, StringList and SecureString.

A parameter is referenced using the following format: 

{{ssm:parameter-name}}

Types

String

By default, String parameters consist of any block of text Parameter Store will perform a syntax check on the data of type aws:ec2:image, by validating it to be an Amazon EC2 AMI.

StringList

SecureString

Security sensitive data can be safely stored as SecureString.
