An architectural term or something

What is the wide flat part on either side of a set of outdoor steps called? What I mean can be seen in this picture. From my research I can name ALL of the stair-parts in that image but the one I want. HALP.

!found, architecture

It's called a sloped terrace. Some terraces are "stepped", so they might have three or four flat terraces on the way up on either side, but when they're matching the slope of the stairway, it's a sloped terrace.
