THROTTLE is the word, but speaking as a mechanic, the definition you state isn't exactly accurate. The throttle plate in the carburator controls the amount of air flow through the venturi where the fuel is mixed with air, also known as the throat of the carburator. The amount of air flowing through the venturi controls the pressure which is what draws fuel into the airstream. The further open the throttle plate, the more air flows through the venturi and the lower the pressure in the throat of the venturi, the lower the pressure in the venturi, the more fuel flows. So, in a crude sense, the throttle plate does control fuel flow, but only indirectly, not in the direct sense of a water faucet controlling water flow in a sink through a variable restriction.
