it's the black tanks that they store very high pressure gasses in. The Falcon 9 uses them in their tanks to displace spent fuel with helium and to power the booster's cold gas thrusters. Though getting carbon fibers to play nice with shit like superchilled lox wasn't easy. In fact SpaceX lost 2 Falcon 9s to COPV mishaps.

Starship I think is planned to avoid using them but is for the time being. If a COPV tank gets punctured it basically turns into mini rocket as the gasses leave.
