Root layer
Explanation:
I see "root layer" come up quite a bit for this, including here:

And quite a few hits for this in combination with "welding" or variants in Google.

Here's a different company that also likes "root":

Here's yet another one (root face for Steg) from the TU Chemnitz:

I think I'm leaning towards "root face" now, there are also thousands of hits for it on Google with regard to welding.
