It's the main body of the carburettor. It forms the air inlet, with a slightly narrow part which causes a vacuum depression due to the venturi effect.

The throttle body has all the other parts attached to it, including a controllable flap or restriction, (the throttle).

By varying the amount of restriction, (throttle position) the volume of air can be controlled and engine speed and power, controlled.
