i have heard people refer to it as the "crumb." is this what you were looking for? like, as in this bread has a coarse or a fine crumb.

In French it is called mie. I just looked it up in the French English dictionary and it says:

Soft part of the bread, crumb (of the loaf) bread with the crust remove.
