Which term is used for a sentence that asks a question?

Inverted syntax

Interrogative

The sentence type that asks for information is called an interrogative. It’s the label used for questions, which often end with a question mark and can start with question words (who, what, where) or invert the usual word order (Are you coming?). This helps distinguish it from other sentence kinds like declaratives (statements), imperatives (commands), and exclamatives (strong emotions). Inverted syntax describes how some questions are formed, but it isn’t the term for the sentence type itself. Imagery and iconography refer to sensory descriptions and symbols, not grammar. So the best fit is interrogative.
