digitate
Having finger projections
Digitate describes something having finger-like divisions or projections.
The term appears mainly in biology: a digitate leaf has lobes radiating from a central point like fingers from a palm; certain sea creatures have digitate appendages.
The word shares its root with digit, which originally meant finger before it meant number.
