I take this question to mean: what do you call that part of a sentence which receives the action of the verb?
If the sentence is in the active voice, it is the object that receives the action of the verb:
'My mother was stroking her cat' ('her cat' is the object of the verb 'was stroking', and is also the recipient of the action of stroking).
If the sentence is in the passive voice, it is the subject that receives the action of the verb:
'The cat was being stroked by my mother' ('the cat' is the subject of the verb 'was being stroked', and is also the recipient of the action of stroking).
