Could someone please tell me what this is called?

[Nosty]

Long story short, I mounted a kerb and scraped the bottom. On looking under the car this bit is bent and banging off the exhaust. Could someone tell me what it's called? Thanks in advance

I believe the name is Tie rod.

It's a strengthening bar many cars have had these removed without issues hopefully that's all that's damaged for you
