Collective noun

A collective noun is a word that refers to a group of individuals or things as a single entity. It is used to describe a collection of items, people, or animals. For example, terms like "team," "flock," "herd," and "bunch" are all collective nouns. When using a collective noun, the verb that follows may be singular or plural depending on whether the group is being considered as a single unit or as individual members acting separately.
