Explanation
The Preamble declares India to be a 'Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic'. The word 'Federal' does not appear in the Preamble — although the Constitution establishes a federal structure, the term itself is not used in the Preamble's text. 'Sovereign', 'Socialist' and 'Democratic' all appear. Hence 'Federal' is the word NOT in the Preamble.
