wain·scot·ing / ˈwānˌskōting; -ˌskä-/ (also wain·scot·ting) • n. wooden paneling that lines the lower part of the walls of a room. ∎ material for such paneling.
And here is a snippet from This Old House- my personal guide for all that is house stuff. Beadboard is a kind of wainscoting
"Beadboard, which had its origins in 19th-century Victorian and cottage styles, is the classic wall covering for informal spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, and back hallways. But you can fancy it up with the addition of a row of flat or raised panels. Here, tongue-and-groove beadboard is combined with flat panels for a casual yet polished look that can work in a dining room or bedroom. Keeping the middle and bottom rails flush with the face of the beadboard streamlines the overall appearance."
