Does anybody know what the name of this feature is?

This is the back side of a hyperglide hub where the hub body engages the wheel hub. I'm trying to upgrade to 10 speed. Original on the left, new part on the right. There's 10 teeth on the old one and 15 on the new one.

New one obviously won't fit due to the difference in the number of teeth, but adding 10 tooth to my searches doesn't bring up anything helpful

So Shimano calls it a freewheel, and the ratchet mechanism is internal. The spline is what transmits force from the cassette to the rest of the hub/wheel, and/or what allows to wheel to spin the ratchet inside the freewheel with not pedaling.

Shimano Fh-c201 was the part I needed.
