baseplate
Mounting surface underneath
A baseplate is the bottom piece of a structure or device, providing a foundation for everything built on top of it.
In construction, baseplates anchor columns to foundations.
In machinery, they support and stabilize equipment.
LEGO baseplates are the flat boards that building-block creations attach to: Start with the green baseplate for the grass.
