If a line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as:

1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle.

2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle.

Diameter is a line which satisfies the second condition hence it is a chord.

The additional condition for a chord to be known as diameter is that the chord should pass through the center of the circle!
