Absolutely...and no.

The manufacturer calls it a roof, see Marcel's link -

It's made of polymer, thanks for that.

Although it do look like a hood, don't it?

This may help some.

Installing a Bay Window
Index>Carpentry Remodeling>Framing & Installing Windows>

Modern bay windows are preassembled for easy installation, but you should still plan on several days to complete the work. Bay windows are large and heavy, and installing them requires special techniques. Have at least one helper to assist you, and try to schedule the work when the chance of rain is small. Use prebuilt bay window accessories to speed your work.
A large bay window can weigh several hundred pounds, so it must be anchored securely to framing members in the wall, and supported by braces attached to framing members below the window. Some window manufacturers include cable-support hardware that can be used instead of metal support braces.

Sorry about that Carl, I guess your hood definition makes sense in that respect, dosen't it?
So when it is made of pre-fabricated metal it is a hood and when it is roofing material it is a roof. I'll buy that. ha. ha.

So when it is made of PVC, it would be a cap, right?

Carl's right, only you have to pronounce it so that it rhymes with "food".
