Nomenclature for Application dependency

Assume that this command invokes an application from the MacOS terminal command line: /Applications/Matlab_R2020a.app/bin/matlab The terminal then is no longer able to accept commands and MATLAB is dependent (i.e. will terminate if the terminal console is closed). What is this dependency called and how can the application be started so that it will be "independent"? That is, closing the terminal will not close the application?
