Which term refers to the partial height stud used under windows or above headers on doors and windows?

King stud
Cripple stud
Wall stud
Joist

The correct answer is: Cripple stud

The term that refers to the partial height stud used under windows or above headers on doors and windows is known as a cripple stud. These studs are crucial in framing as they provide support to the structure around openings, ensuring stability and strength. Cripple studs are typically shorter than regular studs and serve to fill the space when full-height studs are not needed, such as in window and door installations. Their positioning is essential for distributing the load from the header above down to the plate or sill below, effectively maintaining the integrity of the wall. This construction method allows for efficient use of materials while still adhering to structural requirements.
