Click lock plank (tongue and groove plank)
Explanation:
This seems to be referring to "click lock" planks of wood, commonly referred to as "tongue and groove" planks. This is to say that a protruding part of the wood of one plank, slips into a slot of another plank.

tongue and groove plank


Explanation:
All depends on the picture with it , could be Lara's 'click & lock', but be careful because they're not the same!
click & lock is more modern, but not tongue groove is still widely used in my humble DIY experience.
have a look at the link
