"Selective mutism is a rare childhood anxiety disorder in which a child experiences a trigger response and is unable to speak in certain situations or to certain people" (Psychology today, 2023). Even though it can be perceived as being extremely timid, it is not a sort of shyness. It's also not a deliberate omission of speech, unlike what some would think.
