Coda is the name of a syllabic constituent, which contains the consonant(s) following the nucleus. The nucleus and the coda together make up the rhyme.

Example

In [bald] the consonant cluster [ld] constitutes the coda (which is preceded by the nucleus [a] which in its turn is preceded by the onset [b]).

Comments

Unlike the other two syllabic constituents, the onset and the nucleus, the coda is not universal: some languages (Hua, Cayuvava, Hawaiian (Blevins 1995, Piggott 1999)) do not have a coda at all, that is, all syllables are open, others (Yapese (Piggott 1999)) only have it word finally, yet others (Italian) only word medially, but not word finally.
