Big endian the most significant byte is placed on the lowest memory address, and least significant byte is placed on the highest memory address.

The little endian is just the opposite.

"Hello" is 6 bytes including the null, here is the the "Hello" in hex 0x48 65 6C 6C 6F 21 00 and it's organized in so since every two character is one byte so it will be placed in memory in with the the most significant byte also 0x48 in the lowest memory address in MIPS.
