They are called "sunspots".
They are areas where concentrated tangled magnetic flux lines exit through the photosphere of the sun (locally cooling it, resulting in the dark appearance), propelling solar plasma outward as coronal loops (prominences), solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. Sunspots always occur in pairs, one being a "north" magnetic pole and the other a "south" magnetic pole.
