It's called the hull (pronounced hul). It's the lowermost part of a ship - the part of the ship that is submerged under water. The "line" along the center of the bottom of the hull of the ship is the keel of the ship. It's laid down first when the ship is built, and is a structural component. It could be looked at as the "backbone" of the ship.
