Most JEs call it a radical:
GG5: 〔漢字の〕 a side; a (left-hand) radical 《of a Chinese character》.
ルミナス: (漢字の) left(-hand) radical of kanj, 木+へん the tree radical of kanji
I don't think it needs changing.

I have a doubt regarding the term "radical" is this translation of 偏. I found "radical" as the meaning of 部首.
However one 偏 is not necesseraly a 部首.
