Generally, a nep is defined as an entanglement of fibers, that can be caused by environmental factors during growth, processing or are inherent to particular varieties.

Flecked Corduroy
You can often see a similar, but unintended effect on knitwear called pilling. This is a defect of the fabric caused by washing and wear. Small, loose fibres on the surface become felted in these small pills.
