1. An underbody component for a motor vehicle, comprising
a plate element which has a lower side and an upper side; and
at least one supporting element arranged on the upper side of the plate element, which is intended to support the plate element against a vehicle-side structure and to space it apart from this vehicle-side structure, wherein the at least one supporting element is also designed as a partition, which divides an area above the plate element into multiple chambers; and
a sensor device which includes at least one electrically conductive sensor wire which is arranged in or on the plate element, wherein this sensor device is intended to detect intrusion of the plate element into at least one of the chambers caused by an external force action on the lower side.
