The expression of the separation constant in terms of this quantum number affects the form of the colatitude equation.
While the azimuthal dependence of the wavefunction only requires the quantum number to be an integer, the coupling to the colatitude equation further constrains that integer to be less than or equal to the orbital quantum number.
It is called the magnetic quantum number because the application of an external magnetic field causes a splitting of spectral lines called the Zeeman effect.

 Magnetic quantum number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In atomic physics, the magnetic quantum number is the third of a set of quantum numbers (the principal quantum number, the azimuthal quantum number, the magnetic quantum number, and the spin quantum number) which describe the unique quantum state of an electron and is designated by the letter m.
The quantum number m refers, loosely, to the direction of the angular momentum vector.
The magnetic quantum number determines the energy shift of an atomic orbital due to an external magnetic field, hence the name magnetic quantum number (Zeeman effect).
