What term describes the tiny individually colored squares that comprise a digital image?

The term that describes the tiny individually colored squares that make up a digital image is "pixels." Each pixel represents a single point of color in the image, and when combined in large numbers, they create the overall visual representation we see on screens. The resolution of a digital image is determined by the number of pixels it contains; higher resolutions have more pixels, resulting in finer detail and clarity.

The term "bits" refers to the basic unit of information in computing and digital communications, not specifically to the components of a digital image. "Cells" might be misunderstood as it is commonly used in other contexts like spreadsheets or biological contexts, and does not relate directly to the structure of a digital image. "Modules" is a broader term that can refer to various components in technology and design but does not specifically denote the individual elements of an image. Therefore, pixels are the only accurate term that specifically describes the building blocks of a digital image.
