The waxing crescent is the first phase after the new moon.
What moon is it when although less than a quarter of the moon is visible now the visible portion is getting larger as the moon moves from the new moon phase toward the first quarter phase.?
The moon phase you are describing is the waxing crescent phase. During this phase, less than half of the moon is illuminated, and the visible portion is increasing as it progresses toward the first quarter phase. The illumination grows as the moon orbits the Earth, moving away from the new moon phase.
When Although less than a quarter of the moon is visible now the visible portion is getting larger as the moon moves from the new moon phase toward the first quarter phase?
As the moon transitions from the new moon phase to the first quarter phase, the visible portion of its surface, or the illuminated part, increases. This is due to the moon's orbit around the Earth, which allows more sunlight to illuminate its surface. During this time, the crescent shape of the moon gradually expands, leading to a larger visible portion. Eventually, it will reach the first quarter phase, where half of the moon will be illuminated.

When over half of the moon is visible, it is called the "gibbous" phase. Specifically, it is referred to as "waxing gibbous" when the moon is increasing in illumination and "waning gibbous" when it is decreasing. This phase occurs after the first quarter and before the full moon.
