If I'm not mistaken, I believe it is called a partition. Good luck on the book!

5. an interior wall or barrier dividing a room, area of a building, enclosure, etc., into separate areas. thats the 5th definiton of the word partition, so i guess that is what it is, but would other people know what im talking about if i write that? thanks so much and i hope i do good in my book
