The white bar, seen on iPad models that lack a physical home button, indicates that the App Dock can be accessed by swiping upwards from the bottom edge of the screen. This is an element of the visual User Interface - and is not configurable.
You are not the first to complain of this feature - and many might argue that given the element is not present on other models of iPad, it’s presence is an unnecessary distraction.
