Action Bar
The Action bar came about through the Evolution of Combat and it's main function is to quickly select and use nearly any ability. It can also be used to select inventory items, such as food, allowing you to quickly eat in the middle of combat. When Runescape 3 was released it was given 2 more options that, when activated, activate an area in your inventory that a player has designated.
