The descending flight down to the runway is called the "final approach".

Just before touchdown, the pilot will pull the nose up a bit to bleed off the last remaining airspeed, this is called a "flare"

When the wheels touch down, this may be referred to as a "landing" "touchdown" or "alighting" the aircraft.

There are many different types of landings, and many different techniques, for more information follow the link below.
