No. I mean an isolated unit that could be ripped out at any time and would be immediately useful on its own. Anyway, abecedarius (below) has phrased it better

Those 'isolated units' are commonly called libraries then.

  No. They are called "module".

    Yes, I agree with that name, libraries usually start as modules and some extra work is required to convert a module to a library. Also, a library can be thought of as a collection of modules.
