Midpoint.
The midpoint or bisector divides a segment into two congruent parts.
The midpoint divides a line segment into congruent parts.

It's called a Midpoint.
A line segment is divided into congruent segments by a point that lies at its midpoint. This midpoint is equidistant from both endpoints of the segment, ensuring that the two resulting segments are of equal length. Alternatively, if a line segment is divided into a specific number of equal parts, each division point will also create congruent segments.

In mathematics, a bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides an angle or a segment into two equal parts. For example, an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent angles, while a segment bisector divides a line segment into two equal lengths. Bisectors are fundamental in geometry, often used in constructions and proofs.
A line segment or ray that divides an angle into two congruent parts is called an angle bisector. It originates from the vertex of the angle and extends outward, ensuring that the two resulting angles on either side of the bisector are equal in measure. Angle bisectors are significant in various geometric constructions and proofs, often used in the context of triangles and other polygons.
No, it is not true that a segment's bisector will always be congruent to the segment itself. A segment bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides the original segment into two equal parts, but the bisector itself does not have to be equal in length to the original segment. For example, if you have a segment of length 10 units, its bisector will simply divide it into two segments of 5 units each, but the bisector itself can be of any length and orientation.
