They are called homophones. The 'ho_o-' (the website will not allow me to type in the entire prefix) part of the word means 'same' and the '-phone' part of the word means 'sound'.
Words that sound alike but are spelled differently and mean different things are homonyms and your spelling checker isn't going to flag them if you spell them correctly but misuse them.
Example: Your and you're. This is mix up you often see. Your is possessive, as in, "I believe this is your goat." You're is a contraction of you are, as in, "You're a space donkey."
