Whitewood is a term cabinetmakers use for a secondary, utility lumber, used for unseen things like toe kick framing, cleats, brackets, webbing, etc. There are a variety of species that get called whitewood, such as pine, poplar, spruce. Framing lumber should be stamped and you will see SPF on the stamp. This means the lumber is Spruce, Pine (southern yellow) or fir/hemlock all of which could be called whitewood. These days, I only see spruce in my area.
