It can be one of several things, so there not one term you give it. English has no declinations, so it cannot be called that.

It may be said that a word can contain an extra, added, or additional, syllable in cases when the word needs an ending (eg. to form the plural, or past) whereby the word needs an extra sound for it to be distinct from its root sound, or else where a verb does not have an irregular form.
