Default TB plug seal replacement

Okay so this is probably a dumb question but can somebody tell me what the rubber seal is called around the plug that goes into the throttle body. It is the ribbed seal on the plug itself. I need to buy some new ones and actually don't know what they're called.

Does this have what you are looking for?

I am not sure if it is a gasket, seal, or grommet but at the price, it maybe just as cost effective to buy the pig tail.

Did you get just the seal? If so what was the part # or how did you source it?
