Bow or crown. Bow is probably used more often when the board bends in the width. Crown can be across the width of the board or in the length. A board will often curve with the grain, following the curve of the tree rings.

Why do bean seeds grow upward?

They grow upward because the growing stem has the ability to sense up and down, largely through bending of the stem in response to gravity and then grows faster on the inside of the bend and slower on the outside of the bend, causing the bend to straighten out and grow upward. Once in view of light they grow toward light, which is also usually up not down. These are evolutionary adaptations to help the plant get the energy it needs to survive after the "food" in the seed is consumed.
