I play in an orchestra at my school and I have been told it is called Pizzicato. (I'm not sure if that's spelled right)

Individually striking a single string is generally referred to as picking, while playing an entire chord is called "strumming".

Well, there isn't really a special name for violins when it's plucked but when you pluck any string instrument it's also called pizzicato.
