"Microwave" is the term used to refer to radio waves with frequencies above 3 GHz (3,000 MHz).
Just like radio waves at lower frequencies, microwaves are used primarily for communication, and are generated in basically the same way.
The use of the title for the "microwave" oven is somewhat illegitimate, since those appliances operate at frequencies near 2.5 GHz, which is not formally part of the "microwave" portion of the spectrum.

Why microwaves do not come out through the small holes in the door of a microwave oven?
The dimensions of the holes are less than half the wavelength of the microwaves. Most microwaves operate at 2.5 GHz making the wavelength about 1cm. Half of that is 0.5 cm. Any hole small than this will not allow the wave to pass through.
