One-tenth of a second is called a "decisecond" (not to be confused with ten seconds which is called a "decasecond") However, in common parlance, simply saying "tenth of a second" is considered quite acceptable for nearly all applications.
Example: "She ran the 40 meter dash in four seconds and 3 deciseconds."
