Not just the Prime Meridian, but all the longitudinal meridians. So, the answer to your question is: It is called a meridian. The International Date Line is also a meridian which passes through both poles. It just happens to also be the other side of the Prime Meridian.

i don't know what the imaginary circle's called. but the line would definitely be the prime meridian.
The Prime Meridian, also known as the International Meridian or Greenwich Meridian, is the meridian (line of longitude) passing through the Royal Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, England — it is the meridian at which longitude is defined to be 0 degrees. The prime meridian, and the opposite 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
