This is called body copy. Why is it called body copy? Because it is copy that goes in the body of the ad, brochure, website or whatever it is you are writing. 

Body copy is more than grey lines on a page. Although that’s how designers often see it. Body copy is where you get to convince people how good your product of service is.
