Allomorph

Allomorph is a term in linguistics for any variant form of a morpheme, that differ phonologically but does not change in meaning.

We can take example for plural endings s of words that can differ in pronunciation such as /s/, /z/, and /iz/ but not in the meaning of plurality.

Other examples include /əd/ or /ɪd/ for verbs ending in t or d in their past forms.
