What is the name of the structure in Go that copies data during transfer?

In Go, passing a struct always copies its data. There is no special name for a struct that behaves exactly like this; it is a fundamental property of structs.
package main
import "fmt"
type Point struct {
X, Y int
}
func modifyPoint(p Point) {
// Modify the copy p, not the original struct
p.X = 10
p.Y = 20
fmt.Printf("Inside function: %v\n", p)
}
func main() {
pt := Point{X: 1, Y: 2}
fmt.Printf("Before function call: %v\n", pt)
modifyPoint(pt)
fmt.Printf("After function call: %v\n", pt) // pt remains unchanged
}
