labium
A labium is a term used in both biology and human anatomy. 1. In human anatomy, it refers to either of the two pairs of folds of skin and mucous membrane that form the external and internal borders of the mouth in humans and various other mammals. These are more commonly known as the lips. 2. In biology, it is used to describe any lip-like structure, especially the fused mouthpart structures in some insects, or the lower lip in some plants. The context in which the term is used can help determine its specific meaning.
