hexagonal
Like a beehive cell
Hexagonal means having six sides and six angles, like a honeycomb cell or a stop sign.
The term appears in geometry, chemistry, and architecture: hexagonal tiles, hexagonal crystal structure.
A hexagon is the underlying shape; hexagonal describes things with that form.
