dissectible
Able to separate
Dissectible describes something that can be cut apart for examination or analysis.
The word appears most often in educational contexts—a dissectible frog model, a dissectible human torso—where the object is designed to be taken apart and reassembled for study.
Figuratively, an argument or text may be dissectible if it can be broken down into components for scrutiny.
