This part of the bike frame connects the rear wheel hub to the pedal mechanism area. What is the name of this bicycle part?

The chainstay is a part of the bike frame that runs from the area of the pedal mechanism back to the rear wheel hub. At its front, the chainstay connects to the seat tube and the down tube. Depending on what you're looking for in a bike, the length of the chainstay will play a role in bike performance.
