What is underneath my car?

What are the things underneath my car? I was driving over some high piled snow and was worried if I was doing any damage to the parts underneath my car. Nothing sounds wrong with my car but when I went to look underneath my hood, I saw these parts with vents that were hanging sideways and didn’t find anything online to figure it out.

Look like aero vents. Is there one on the other side?

Some sort of under tray panel. If it's hanging low, it might be missing a clip.

Not seeing what aero vents are when I look online. In the not so zoomed in picture if you look to the left there is another part with vents in it so maybe thats that? I’m wondering if I should get it checked out cause I feel like parts shouldn’t be sideways

I’m just not sure if it was hanging a little sideways before I checked it after running over some snow. It seems fine but idk if I should get it checked out or not. I just want to know what that part is

It is just a plastic under cover that's there mostly for fuel economy. Probably held in place with plastic clips. You say you hit some snow, it could have broken clips or knocked them loose.

Ah ok, do you think I should get it checked out immediately?

Should I eventually go get it checked out? And I’m assuming a local mechanic would be better than going to a dealership for this?

Re: What is underneath my car?

Stick your head under closer to where it’s coming down. It’s probably just missing a clip. Buy some clips on Amazon or use a zip tie to hold it up. If you’re not comfortable going under the car ask someone with some ramps to take a look.
