apical
Situated at peak
Apical means at, relating to, or forming an apex or tip.
In biology, apical describes the uppermost point of a structure: the apical bud of a plant, apical meristem where growth occurs.
In anatomy, it refers to the tip of an organ or tooth root.
In phonetics, apical sounds are made with the tongue tip touching the roof of the mouth.
