The members of the group determined by the population of a state are called Representatives. In the context of the United States Congress, each state is allocated a number of Representatives based on its population, as determined by the decennial census. This allows for proportional representation in the House of Representatives, ensuring that states with larger populations have more influence in legislative decisions.
The Senate elects two members from every state no matter the population. The House of Representatives elects members based on population.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are selected according to state population.

This ensures that representation in the House reflects the population distribution across the states. Consequently, more populous states have a greater number of representatives compared to less populous ones.
