It used to be when I went to the lumber store the inexpensive soft wood was Pine. Now they call it “White Wood”, what exactly is “White Wood”, I don’t recall ever hearing of a tree species by that name.

I suspect it is any cheap tree that is fairly white. ‘White wood’ is not a species. It is likely pine, but in theory could be balsam or aspen or a bunch of others.
I did a little looking and it mostly confirmed that. It can be any of a number of species that all are fairly ‘white’ with little strong grain showing.
