What is the name given to the pocket of epidermal and dermal cells that the hair grows within?

That would be the follicle. The hair follicle is a small tubular cavity containing the root of a hair; small muscles and sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles.A mature hair follicle contains a bulb holding the dermal papilla cells, a hair shaft extending from the bulb through to the outer exterior of the epidermis, and a dermal sheath which provides an external covering of tissue around the bulb and along the length of the follicle.The hair follicle extends through the dermis, a hypodermis (a loose layer of connective tissue below the dermis), and a fat (or adipose) layer. In adults, molecular signals between the dermal papilla and the epidermal component of a follicle cause the hair to enter an active growth phase from an inactive phase.
