2000 Tacoma 4x4 Axle boot

What is your question?

my 2000 tacoma has a torn boot, i dont think greese has flown around so it was recent, its not the cv boot connected to the wheel, it's the rear one, which im a little unclear of the name of? it's longer and looks like it might be connected to the transfer case on the axle since it looks pretty clean can i patch it or what would be the part needed to replace? thank you! sorry im not too familiar with this part of car work

What makes this problem better or worse?
