Answer:

They're called as "zygomatic bone"

Step-by-step explanation:

zygomatic bone, also called cheekbone, or malar bone, diamond-shaped bone below and lateral to the orbit, or eye socket, at the widest part of the cheek. It adjoins the frontal bone at the outer edge of the orbit and the sphenoid and maxilla within the orbit.

I hope this helps you ..!!
