I think I can settle this as someone who works with these materials daily. The edge that has broken off is simply called edgebanding. Put on by an edgebander. The table here most certainly is a laminate capped particle board with edgebanding. Likely the underside of this table is either raw brown paper or potentially another laminate layer or melamine. You can tell it is laminate by the distinctive 0.8mm thick decorative layer exposed now that the edge has failed.
