to get the labels of a taxonomy by one of its term ids, you would need to first get the term by calling

$term = get_term($term_id);

now you have the term object and that also includes $term->taxonomy. with that info you can call for the whole taxonomy

$taxonomy = get_taxonomy($term->taxonomy);

now you have the whole package and you could extract the name from that.

var_dump($taxonomy);

$label = $taxonomy->label;
$name = $taxonomy->labels->name;
$singular_name = $taxonomy->labels->singular_name;

or you could call another function, that gets you all the labels:

$labels = get_taxonomy_labels($taxonomy);

var_dump($labels);
echo $labels->name;

One can get taxanomy name using term id:

In the below example group_types is the custom taxonomy in WordPress

$groupTypeName = get_term_by('term_taxonomy_id','group_types' , 'category');
$tax_name= $groupTypeName->name;
echo $tax_name;

You can use get_term(): https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_term

$term = get_term( $term_id );
echo $term->taxonomy;
