Homograph.

Explanation:

Homographs are words that share the same spelling, but have different meanings. They may or may not be pronounced in the same manner. For example, the pair "bear" (animal) and "bear" (verb "to support") has the same pronunciation, while "live" (verb "to exist" or "to reside") and "live" (adjective "transmitted while it occurs") have different pronunciations.
