They are known as sun spots. The are caused by intense magnetic files that enter the sun at those locations. They cool the surface there by a small amount. Although still very hot, these sunspot areas are cooler than the sounding surface and as such appear dimmer.

Dark spots on stars, known as sunspots, are areas of reduced temperature caused by strong magnetic fields inhibiting the normal convection currents in the stellar atmosphere. Sunspots appear darker than the surrounding surface because they are areas where heat and light emission are suppressed. These features are temporary and can vary in size and number over time as the star's magnetic activity changes.
