clump
Gathered thick bunch
A clump is a compact mass or cluster of things grouped together: a clump of trees, a clump of dirt, a clump of hair in the drain.
The word suggests irregular, natural grouping rather than deliberate arrangement.
To clump is to gather into such masses, or to walk with heavy, thudding steps: He clumped up the stairs in his boots.
