They are quite literally called flaps, and they make the plane go up, down, left and right.

Flaps is the only name, although there are similar devices called slats and spoilers.
They are called "flaps" and they allow the airplane to fly at slower speeds
The Flaps And Slats Give An Airplane More Lift At Low Speeds.
The flaps create more lift when fully extended and the aircraft is climbing.
An airplane has two flaps that rotate upward and downward, so when an airplane tilts it's flaps downward, the wind pushes against it and causes it to liftoff.
Flaps increase the aerodynamic lift of a wing by increasing it's surface area. This allows the airplane to generate a greater amount of lift at slower speeds. In other words, when the flaps are extended, the airplane doesn't have to go as fast in order to take off or land. The flaps are retracted once the airplane is off the ground and has increased its speed to a point where the extra lift from the flaps is no longer needed. Flaps also have the effect of increasing drag on the airplane wing which reduces the airplane's speed and efficiency, but this only affects the aircraft when operating at higher speeds.
You didn't specify what context you wanted. The term can be a noun or a verb and can mean several different things.The flag flaps in the breeze.The airplane's flaps were down.
An airplanes having the flaps in wings as it helps the plane to give or to produce a additional lift.
Flaps and stats increase lift for takeoff and slow you down, for landing.
yes
The main purpose of having flaps is to slow down the airplane without increasing pitch.
