gumlike
Rubbery in texture
Gumlike describes something that resembles gum in texture or consistency—sticky, chewy, or viscous.
The comparison is usually to chewing gum or natural plant gums rather than to gum tissue in the mouth.
The candy had a gumlike quality that made it stick to my teeth.
It appears most often in technical or descriptive contexts where precision about texture matters.
