What is it called when the prosecution gets the opportunity to question the defense's witnesses?
The opportunity for the prosecution to question the defense's witnesses is called "cross-examination."

Cross-examination typically occurs after the defense has presented its case and called its witnesses.

No, it is not necessary for the prosecution to call every person with knowledge about the case as a witness. The prosecution typically selects witnesses based on the relevance and strength of their testimony to support their case. The decision on which witnesses to call is strategic, focusing on those who can provide the most compelling evidence. Ultimately, the prosecution must present a sufficient case to meet its burden of proof, regardless of the number of witnesses.

What happens in the opening argument of a trial?
During opening arguments the prosecution presents theirs first, they will explain to a jury all of the circumstances of the case and explain what they will present to prove all of the evidence along with the type of testimony for the jury/judge to expect from any scheduled witnesses. The defense can present an opening argument at that time or they can reserve the option until after the prosecution presents their case. If the defense chooses to proceed with the opening they will explain why the Prosecutions case will be flawed, and what witnesses the defense will present to rebut the testimony of the prosecution witnesses.
