Well, you used the word "point" 3 times above. How about "visual
extension point", or "GUI plugin point", or some combination of
similar words?
If you are someone writing a parcel, then the role that this block
plays is indeed an extension point or plugin point for the tree of
blocks that you create for your detail view.
Pardon the terrible ascii art here, but it helps me to have a picture:

I think using the word "root" for TrunkParentBlock is a bit confusing,
because the Trunk itself is the root of the tree of blocks.
Not sure these are any better, but what about:
TreeHook
TreeExtensionPoint
PlantationPoint (get it, "plant" the tree here!)
ExtensionBlock
or back to John's:
TreeSocket
SocketBlock
Cheers,
