Answer 1

Parameters or arguments. Parameter is the better term, but argument is fine.

Answer 2

They are called parameters.

When a program calls a procedure or function, it can pass data to the procedure or function for processing. However, when you create a procedure or function that performs operations on data that passes to it from the calling program, the procedure or function must contain parameters in its definition to handle the data.

I might add that if the receiving module is not a part of the application that is doing the call, then you must Declare or reference the receiving module in the calling application, and of course pass it as a value if you expect no changes to your value. If you are trying to get something back from the receiving module , such as a new value, then you need to pass the variable as a reference.
