Tapioca pearls.

It's starch shaped into balls, then typically boiled in a mix of sugar and water to a gelatinous consistency.

Not sure what differences there are between the black and white ones though. I usually see the white ones, smaller in size, used in tapioca pudding, while the black ones are often larger and used for boba tea.
