sealant
Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through the surface or joints or openings in materials, a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulking and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission. Sealants may be weak or strong, flexible or rigid, permanent or temporary. Sealants are not adhesives but some have adhesive qualities and are called adhesive-sealants or structural sealants.

I have a fully tiled wet room, the floor is concrete and the transparent sealant along the corners / floor edges gets mould behind it very quickly. I have had to remove it twice so far and replace it within a few years. I have removed the sealant and re grouted the edges.
