The part of the wall that meets the roof is called the "wall plate" or "top plate." This horizontal member helps distribute the weight of the roof and provides a stable base for the roof structure. In residential construction, it typically serves as the uppermost horizontal framing member of the wall. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in connecting the wall to the roof rafters or trusses.
