Is there a name for a monoid with a distinguished absorbing element? Let $M = (M,·,1,0)$ be a monoid $(M,·,1)$ together with an distinguished absorbing element $0 ∈ M$, that is such that $∀x ∈ M\colon 0·x = 0 = x·0$. 
Does such a structure $M$ have a nice name?
Furthermore, is there a name for such structures $M$, where the units of $M$ are exactly the nonzero elements of $M$, i.e. $M^× = M\setminus \{0\}$?
Example. Every ring is such a structure when only considering multiplication. Fields are then examples where the units are exactly the nonzero elements.
 A: A monoid with an distinguished absorbing element is called a monoid with zero in the literature.
A monoid with zero in which the units are exactly the nonzero elements is called a group with zero [1, p. 5; 2, Def 1.3.1, p. 34; 4] or a $0$-group [3].
