A 3D ellipse is called an ellipsoid. It is a three-dimensional shape where all cross-sections are ellipses, and it can be defined by its semi-principal axes. Common types of ellipsoids include the sphere (when all axes are equal) and the prolate and oblate spheroids, which are elongated or flattened along one axis, respectively.
A three dimensional oval is simply called an egg, or more mathematically, an ovoid. A three dimensional ellipse (a more symmetric oval) is called a prolate spheroid, or oblate spheroid, depending on how the ellipse is rotated.
Any ellipse is an oval shape. But all ovals are not all ellipses, some are nothing in particular.
In the context of an ellipse, each point marked with a dot is called a "focus" or "foci" (plural). The ellipse has two foci, which are positioned symmetrically along the major axis. These points are crucial in defining the shape and properties of the ellipse, as they relate to the distances from any point on the ellipse to the foci.
The shortest line across an ellipse is called the "minor axis." It runs perpendicular to the longest line, known as the major axis, and passes through the center of the ellipse. The lengths of the major and minor axes are key parameters that define the shape and size of the ellipse.
The maximum length of an ellipse is called its major axis. This is the longest diameter of the ellipse, running through its center and the two farthest points on the perimeter. The shorter diameter, perpendicular to the major axis, is known as the minor axis. Together, these axes define the shape and orientation of the ellipse.

... is called an "ellipse"
Ellipse is a term for an oval. Specifically it is a shape where the sum of the distance of every point on the ellipse to two points, called the foci, is equal.
