The entire vertical window frame is called the “jamb”. The portion on the jamb that protrudes outward is called the “stop”.

It appears that this window manufacturer has pre-cut a notch (cutout) in the stop and frame in anticipation of installing a connector for screen, etc. to be applied later.

The piece that seems to be missing is the “cover plate” that covers this pre-cut cutout.
