They are known as "friars":
The Dominican Order, also called the Friars Preachers, was founded in 1215 by Dominic de Guzmán (c. 1170 - 1221), a native of Caleruega in Spain, who, to conform himself more closely to Christ Our Lord, used to remove his footwear and walked barefoot over the roads as he travelled preaching the Gospel.
The heresy which he was reforming was called Albigensianism. This was the revival of a heresy the Church saw many centuries earlier called Manichaeism. The Albigensians held to a dualistic philosophy which taught, among other things, that created objects and matter, such as the human body, were bad. This teaching, among others, was often considered a representation of what Catholics believed, so the Church sought to correct the misrepresentation. Many examples of the goodness of creation can be found throughout Sacred Scripture, particularly God's multiple proclamations of the goodness of His creation in Genesis 1, culminating in the first story of creation with man and woman who are made in God's image and likeness.
There have been many famous Dominicans after St. Dominic, but perhaps the most well-known Dominican in Catholic history is St. Thomas Aquinas. His writings have been influential in forming Catholic thought over the centuries, and are required reading for all seminarians studying for the priesthood. Among his more famous works are the Summa Theologica and the Summa Contra Gentiles.

Medieval monks were typically members of religious communities who focused on prayer, study, and manual work within monasteries, while missionaries were individuals sent by a religious group to spread their faith and convert non-believers. Monks lived a contemplative, cloistered life, while missionaries traveled extensively to share their religious beliefs with different cultures and societies.
Francis and Dominic set up orders of friars, monks who did not live in isolated monasteries but rather traveled around Europe's towns preaching to the poor. Francis set up the "Franciscan Order", and preached poverty, humility, and love of God. Dominic set up the "Dominican Order", whose chief goal was to combat heresy by teaching official Roman Catholic beliefs.
