It is called a nucleotide.
The basic unit of DNA and RNA is nucleic acid. Notice DNA and RNA both end in NA that is because NA stands for nucleic acid. The D in DNA stand for Deoxyribo. And the R in RNA stands for ribo. So DNA's full name is deoxyribo nucleic acid and RNA's full name is ribo nucleic acid.
