Hmm...what's a kangaroo called? Or a silly person?
It's a tiller.

To answer the question you asked, the tiller is called the tiller. You may be thinking of, or have the tiller confused with the rudder. The rudder is actually the flat piece (like a plane's tail section) in the water at the stern that pivots side to side and alters the course of the ship. The tiller is the handle attached to the rudder that allows you to control the rudder, although landlubbers may use the two terms, albeit incorrectly, interchangeably.

a tiller.
it's related to a rudder, but technically the tiller is the handle/lever that you move to cause the rudder to be moved. (the rudder is the control surface under the water that helps steer the ship)
