There are two possible definitions:

The word cellotape (1 word), where it refers to cellophane adhesive tape, is an all-too-common, but understandable, misspelling of 'Sellotape', the primary brand of household adhesive tape (a.k.a. 'sticky tape') in the British Isles. Like Hoover, Band-Aid, Thermos, Aspirin, Yo-Yo and Zipper, the word 'Sellotape' has become a 'genericised trademark' in the UK and beyond. In the US, the common term is "Scotch Tape" - also a genericised trademark.

('Cellotape' is a registered business name unrelated to household adhesive tape products.)

The product name has its roots in 'cellophane', from which the tape was originally made. (This is no longer the case, as cellophane tape perishes quite quickly, and better, longer-lasting plastics are now available).

Cello Tape (2 words) may refer to 'cello tapes.' A band of electric tape (or similar), placed in certain positions under the strings on the fingerboard. The purpose of which is to mark the location of particular notes for inexperienced players.
