Yes, Yes, its the pellet at the bottom of the tube. Its not usually called precipitate, that the product of other processes such as chemical fractionation (ammonium sulphate or organic solvents etc.).

pellet

Basically the mixture is centrifuged and the pellet is resuspended and centrifuged again (washing)
Note from asker:

fraction

centrifugation is defined by for example the McGrawhill concise dictionary of modern medicine (see reference) as:
'The process of separating fractions of systems in a centrifuge. '
and this is how we referred to the separated results in my pharmacy undergrad course.
