In short, the word "bullet" only refers to the piece of lead. The cartridge casing is the metal case that the bullet actually fits into. See the attached link for a picture of a few empty cartridge casings.

What are the grooves on a bullet?

Couple of different answers to your question. With a FIRED bullet, grooves that spiral around the bullet are ballistic markings- lines engraved by the rifling in the barrel. In the case of grooves that run around the bullet, and filled with a waxy substance, those are grease grooves that hold lubricant. A single groove with no filler is a cannelure- spot for the cartridge case to be crimped into to hold a bullet snugly before firing.
