The sun is a main sequence star
The four types of stars are; Main Sequence, White Swarfs, Red Giants and Super Giants. 90% of stars are in the Main Sequence.
The sun, our sun is an example of a main sequence star. G2 category. Very common.
On such a diagram, those stars lie on a curve called the "main sequence". It is not a simple relationship - for example, it isn't a straight line on the diagram. Therefore, it isn't easy to describe in words. It's best if you look up "Main sequence", for example on the Wikipedia, and look at the corresponding diagram.
main sequence
Most of the stars in the universe are found on the main sequence. Stars fall off the main sequence when they begin to die.
A main sequence does not do anything - it is just a name for a period in a stars life. [See related question]
There is no specific name of such stars. In stellar models they are given the classification of O-type main sequence stars.

Red Giants. Stars not on the main sequence
With red giants and main sequence stars they are not entirely featureless, therefore there is no name for them.
its to the right of the middle of the main sequence.
There are billions of stars that are not on the main sequence.
