Lead is a metallic element. It is comparatively heavy, but softer than many metals and has a lower melting point. In high concentrations, it is toxic to living organisms.

Why is it not correct to refer the material in pencils as lead?

The "lead" in pencils is actually graphite, not the toxic metal lead.
