The middle of a line segment is called a Midpoint.;-)
It is called a bisector.
perpendicular bisector
Yes, the midpoint of a given line segment must lie on that line segment. The midpoint is defined as the point that is equidistant from both endpoints of the segment, effectively dividing it into two equal parts. Therefore, by definition, the midpoint cannot exist outside of the line segment itself.
perpendicular bisector
All bisectors intersect the line segment at the midpoint. There can be multiple bisectors, intersecting at the midpoint at different angles, but they all intersect the line segment at its midpoint. The midpoint separates the line segment into two equal halves.

It's called a perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
intersecting lines
A line that intersects a segment at its midpoint bisects the segment.
It is called a bisector.
