What term is used in Jetpack Compose to denote the outer margin around a UI element?

In Jetpack Compose, the term padding is used to denote the outer margin around a UI element.

However, to specify the actual outer margin (the distance between the element and neighboring elements or borders), the Modifier.padding() modifier is more commonly used, which adds space around the content of the component.

Example:

Text(
    text = "Example",
    modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
)

Here, 16.dp is the outer margin around the text.
