There's inconsistency in the library between plate or tile on the description of these parts. Our general rule would say use "Plate" since the studs are up. Everyone else, including LEGO, calls these Tiles.
In this case think we should use Tile as it more aligns with usage and the community.
I totally agree, not just because it aligns with usage and community, but because it correctly describes what they are. "Inverted plate" doesn't even make any logical sense. An actual inverted plate (in a model) would be a plate that happens to be placed upside down. As a part, it is an oxymoron.
