Black 1 is a Clamp  

When a friendly stone is already next to an enemy stone, a clamp is an attachment on the opposite side of that enemy stone.

Clamps can occur anywhere on the board at any stage of the game, as shown in the following examples.

As can be seen in the example, the second line clamp is a common end-game tesuji. It makes a and b miai.
