The Tunisian knit stitch is so named because it looks like knitting; the right side of the fabric resembles knitted stockinette stitch (AKA stocking stitch.) I've encountered people who refer to this technique as "knitting with a crochet hook." That way of describing it isn't entirely accurate, because the resulting fabric is structurally different than a knitted fabric; it's thicker, and it has less stretch. Still, there's no arguing that the fabric looks knitted, and if you are interested in achieving a knitted look with your crochet work, this stitch is a good one to have in your repetoire.
