Dumb question

What do you call the thin, often wooden bit at the base of a doorway, that separates the floor in one room from the floor in the next?

The jam is the wooden surround that the door slides into, so the two sides and the top. The sill is the first layer of wood that's on top of the house foundation. So often the bottom of the outside doors are on the sill plate.

I think that the bottom of a door doesn't have it's own special name, like the top does. But the wood or metal strip is called a transition strip in the hardware stores.
