most all pieces of lumber will have a slight bow in it if you sight down the length of the piece. the top of this bow is often referred to as the crown of the lumber. lumber should always be positioned crown up when laying lumber horizontal such as for joists.

The crown means the bow of the wood. We would like to think of our studs as being straight. Rafters and joists are laid with the bow up so gravity will work to make it straighter.
