Subject: [DIY] Wall Damage - Photo

 

I need to fix this wall damage.  It sits underneath a window sill (the window that I replaced was rotted) and the entire section is probably about 1' x 3'.  I've checked out several videos on fixing holes in walls. I expected to find a couple of studs with an empty pocket.  Instead it looks like this is one wide piece of horizontal (rotted) wood.

My first question is what is the substance on the wall.  Is that drywall?  Seems rather thin.

Should it be patched or replaced?

Any additional information or tips would be appreciated.  

Thanks.
