Just to give some context, a black hole is called a hole because it is a tremendously dense and tiny object, so dense it supposedly sinks the “sheet” of space-time and creates a “hole”. Think about a marble of 1 cm of diameter with the weight of a commercial plane, resting in a bed sheet. Its also called black because it absorbs the entirety of light that enters on it.
