In poetry, a meter refers to the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line of verse, while a foot is the basic building block of meter, typically consisting of one stressed syllable and one or more unstressed syllables. Meters are categorized by the number of feet in a line (e.g. iambic pentameter has five feet per line), while feet are the individual units that make up these patterns.
A basic part of a meter in poetry that consists of two syllables is called a foot. A foot with three syllables is called a trimeter.

The term is "foot." In poetry, a foot is a basic unit of meter consisting of a combination of stressed and unstressed syllables. Common types of feet include iamb, trochee, anapest, dactyl, and spondee.

A metrical foot is a unit of measurement in poetry that consists of two or three syllables. Common examples include the iamb (two syllables) and the anapest (three syllables).
That pattern is called the meter. The basic unit of meter is a foot. Meter can be described both by the rhythmic pattern of a foot and the number of feet in a line.An example is iambic pentameter, where an iamb is a foot consisting of two syllables, the first unstressed and the second stressed (as in the word "return"). The "penta" in "pentameter" comes from Greek and means five, so pentametermeans there are five metrical feet in a line.
