webbing

Duck foot membrane

Webbing is strong woven fabric made in flat strips, used for belts, straps, and structural support in furniture and equipment: The lawn chair's webbing had started to fray.

The term also describes any web-like membrane or structure, particularly the skin between the toes of ducks, frogs, and other aquatic animals.
