Yes, biologists often refer to skeletal muscle cells as fibers, although they aren't the same as plant fibers.
A single muscle cell is called a muscle fiber.
Each muscle fiber is also called a myofiber.
The sacromere with the proteins actin and myosin allow the muscle cell (fiber) to contract.
sarcolemma is the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber (muscle cell)
An individual skeletal muscle cell is referred to as a muscle fiber because of its elongated, thread-like shape that resembles a fiber. These muscle fibers are multi-nucleated and contain specialized structures called myofibrils, which are responsible for contraction. The term "fiber" underscores the cell's role in forming the overall muscle tissue, emphasizing its function and structural characteristics.

The plasma membrane of a muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma. It surrounds the muscle cell and is responsible for controlling the passage of substances in and out of the cell, as well as transmitting signals for muscle contraction. The sarcolemma is essential for maintaining the integrity and function of the muscle fiber.
The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber. It surrounds and protects the muscle fiber and controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The sarcolemma plays a crucial role in muscle contraction and the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle fiber.

Muscle cells are most correctly referred to as muscle fibers.
What is a synapse between a nerve fiver and a muscle fiber
The organization of a skeletal muscle from smallest to largest is as follows: myofilaments > myofibrils > muscle fiber > fascicle > muscle
