What is a word that has multiple meanings but spelled in the same way?

This is a classic example of a homograph.

Here's the breakdown:

* Homograph: A word that is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning and possibly a different pronunciation.

Examples:

* Bat: A nocturnal flying mammal vs. a piece of equipment used in baseball.

* Bow: A weapon that shoots arrows vs. a knot tied in a ribbon.

* Lead: A heavy metal vs. to guide or direct.
