It's called the source. And when that source flows farther down stream it will get bigger and wider because of all the little tributaries and streams that joins it on the journey towards the sea. And where the mouth of the river converges with estuaries and inlets.
The source is often a spring that rises up from the ground but not always. In Scotland for example many rivers and streams start life as melting snow from the mountain peaks and from heavy rainfall.

The source of a river may be a lake, a spring, or a collection of small streams, known as headwaters. From their source, all rivers flow downhill, typically terminating in the ocean. The mouth, or lower end, of a river is known as its base level.
For more information on rivers, see the Wikipedia entry on rivers.

I have been teaching geography for many years - a river begins at its source. The river ends at its mouth. Many river mouths form a delta. You measure the length of a river from the beginning of its source to the end of its mouth. Thus endth the lesson :-).

If you mean where the river rises, then it's the source.
