Answer: They are referred to as a CATEGORY.

Explanation: A category in sociology can be defined as a number of things that do not interact but share similar characteristics.

For example, the people in the elevator can be women, men, the elderly, children etc, they all share the same characteristics but do not interact as they are not going to the same destination.
