Default What is it called?

Hello All,
I am very new here.
Yesterday my wife drove the car (Falcon BA Mk II) over a traffic island. As a result, a plastic plate under the front bumper was taken out.
The plastic plate is NOT the grill. It is just under the bumper, to avoid stones hitting the radiator I guess... Please find attached the picture.

I was wondering if any one can let me know what the plate is called, approx how much is it for and where can i buy it.

Thank you.

I was under the impression they were also there to stop water going up into the front of the engine bay.
