The term you're looking for is "pun." A pun is a form of wordplay that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or similar-sounding words for humorous or rhetorical effect. Puns can create ambiguity and often rely on the audience's ability to recognize the dual meanings or sounds of the words involved.
