foraminated
Punctured with openings
Foraminated means having small openings or holes, particularly in anatomy or biology.
The term describes structures pierced by foramina—natural passages or perforations: foraminated bone, foraminated shell.
The word is technical and uncommon, with *perforated* or *porous* serving in most contexts.
