A circle doesn't really have an edge, per se. But I think what you are referring to is a tangent.

A tangent is a line that touches the perimeter of the circle at only one point.

What is the line from the middle of a circle to the edge?

The line from the middle of a circle to the edge is called a radius. It measures the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference. The radius is half the length of the diameter, which is the line that passes through the center and connects two points on the edge of the circle.
