A variable is a measurement that can take different "values". I put values in quotation marks because a variable can take qualitative values (for example, colour of eye) as well as quantitative (numerical) ones.
The variable that describes data using words or numerals as labels is called a categorical variable.
It is a variable fraction. But it need not be algebraic.

It is a variable fraction which need not be algebraic.

Ineqality
The term 'independent variable' is a noun phrase; the adjective 'independent' describes the noun 'variable'.
It is a variable fraction. But it need not be algebraic.
for Apex: the variable is an experiment that is manipulated by the scientist.

It is a variable fraction, NOT an algebraic fraction.
It is a variable fraction which need not be algebraic.
operational definition
There is no specific name. If the numerator and denominator are polynomials in the variable then the question describes an algebraic fraction. But there is no reason at all to assume that they are polynomials. There is no specific phrase that describes sin(x)/x, for example.
controlled experiment
If you are not doing an experiment, there is no variable.
