a slice deciding it's important enough to deserve its own name
means A part into which something is or can be divided, especially one of several distinct sections that make up a whole.
from From Latin 'segmentum,' meaning a piece cut off — built from the verb 'secare,' 'to cut,' the same blade that carves out 'section,' 'sector,' and 'dissect.' So a segment is, quite literally, a cutting: a piece sheared away from the larger mass and counted on its own.
