The figure of speech you're describing is called "synecdoche." It involves using a part of something to represent the whole (like "wheels" for a car), the whole to represent a part (like "America" for the American government), or using specific terms to refer to a general concept and vice versa. This rhetorical device enriches language by adding layers of meaning and creating vivid imagery.
