Offspring of two different true-breeding varieties are called hybrids.

Explanation:

Pure-breeding plants are plants that self pollinate for many generations and all its offspring had the same features as the parents, generation after generation.

When Mendel cross pollinate this pure-breeding plants with contrasting traits, the offspring is called hybrids because they resulted from a cross between two pure-breeding plants with contrasting traits.
