We have three groups (soprano, alto, and baritone) and for one of the songs we're singing, each vocal section has a piece or section that we have to sing. Our conductor referred to it as a specific word but I don't remember what it was called. I searched online, but I still couldn't find it.
Could anyone tell me what the term is?

Possibly soli?
In my experience, it means a solo for an entire section. For example, a saxophone soli would be a feature for all the saxophones in a big band.
Google tells me it has other meanings in different contexts, so it may not be a universally applicable term.

In my experience from classical music, soli is simply the Italian name for soloists and is used in contrast to the choir – you can often find “soli e coro” in scores.

If other voices are singing (or playing) at the same time, the leading voice is simply called melody and others are performing accompaniment.
In polyphonic compositions, the voice singing (or playing) the main melody is called cantus firmus (Latin) or canto fermo (Italian). In this case, the other voices are performing at the same time, too. The relation between voices is called counterpoint.
