strut is a horizontal element in construction or on a guitar. It is not relevant here.

@Lambie, a strut is a structural piece in building/construction forms of all kinds. It does not only apply to instruments. You see it in descriptions of folding tables, for instance, which are similar to the picture above.

@Katy I never said it only applied to instruments. But clearly, in the picture, the board has its own frame. There are no struts in the picture. On guitars, struts are vertical. Struts can be found in furniture too. The board frame may act like a strut but it isn't a strut.

I think the strut is actually the horizontal metal strip between the two sides of the board. It keeps the two sides from pressing back together.
A strut is a structural piece designed to resist pressure in the direction of its length. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/strut
Edit: It seems there is some debate if the piece I refer to is 100% technically a strut--I have always heard it referred to that way, and believe that in colloquial usage it would be an appropriate word. But it seems if you're writing for a technical description, it may not be appropriate.
There is no metal strip between the two sides of the board. The horizontal top and bottom of the board frame is what is resisting pressure in the "direction of its length".

I might call these the legs of the board or whatever the object is called. The stand would be the entire standing apparatus, perhaps, but certainly "the legs" is the best way.

The picture shows a board in a frame and this is attached to an A-frame structure.
A-frame structures for this usage (holding up a board) have legs.
struts are not relevant here. Struts are cross-beams, therefore, usually horizontal, used in the construction industry to strengthen vertical loads and also on guitar necks to so different notes can be played. On guitars, struts are vertical.
Struts can also be found in certain pieces of furniture where they reinforce some structure. For examples, some beds have a frame made of wood with cross pieces called struts where a mattress is placed.

Struts don't have to be horizontal. They are rods (or similarly shaped things) designed to resist compression. For example, a modern car's suspension often has mostly vertical struts in its design. I guess you could call that board's legs and crossbars "struts", but most people would call them "legs" or "crossbars"

@Flydog57 Struts are not rods in construction. Struts in construction are horizontal elements made of wood or steel. There are no struts in the drawing: there is a hinge or latch for opening the A-frame stand and there is a board frame attached to the A-frame. Yes, struts in some applications can be vertical. Yes, car struts are steel and part of the suspension system, and yes, they are vertical. I did say not all struts are horizontal, didn't I?

Guitar bracing refers to the system of wooden struts which internally support and reinforce the soundboard and back of acoustic guitars. Wikipedia I did mix up struts and frets. Sorry.

strut is a horizontal element in construction or on a guitar. It is not relevant here.

@Lambie, a strut is a structural piece in building/construction forms of all kinds. It does not only apply to instruments. You see it in descriptions of folding tables, for instance, which are similar to the picture above.

@Katy I never said it only applied to instruments. But clearly, in the picture, the board has its own frame. There are no struts in the picture. On guitars, struts are vertical. Struts can be found in furniture too. The board frame may act like a strut but it isn't a strut.
