stud wall
Vertical beam partition
A stud wall is an interior wall built from vertical wooden or metal framing members (studs) covered with drywall or plasterboard.
Unlike load-bearing walls, stud walls typically serve only to divide space: We knocked down the stud wall between the kitchen and dining room.
The term is common in construction and renovation contexts.
