What is the name of this SAT test concept?

Question

I’m looking for the academic name, or examples of pattern finding that is like

Tree/apple is to vine/(tomato)

There are other examples that probably illustrate different thought domains;

is this a concept that has a name?

That is called an analogy. They were removed from the test in 2005.

I usually see them worded as "tree is to apple, as vine is to (tomato)" ... which would make it a simile instead of a metaphor (since the comparison is made using the word 'like' or 'as'). – Roddy of the Frozen Peas Sep 20 '21 at 15:51
