That line down the middle of your stomach

I've tried to look it up but I can't seem to find a name for it. Some people say it's called the linea alba but that seems lower down to me based on guidelines.
I ask because I have it - in fact I've had it at a higher body weight. Can anyone tell me what it means to have this line?
Here's a pic for reference and no I'm not as slim as this person.

Linea Alba. It's the line that divides your abs.

I like that line, I have it too

Don't know what it's called. I start seeing it when body fat is about 25% or less, getting more defined as the number gets lower. Since your ribs don't actually meet in the middle there is a natural "crease" there but high body fat percentages seem to cover it up.

At first I thought you were talking about Pectus Excavatum but yea it's the linea alba. It starts from under your chest down to your vagina or penile. It's like a divider line.

Aaaaah thanks all. Yeah my body fat percentage is in between 21-25% so that would make sense. Hmmm I do quite like it so hopefully as I lose more it will get even more defined.

I have just started to notice that I have one-- I think I have just reached about 25% body fat, so it is interesting that that's the point at which it usually appears.
