hexagons
Honeycomb cell forms
Hexagons is the plural of hexagon, a six-sided polygon.
Regular hexagons have equal sides and angles, appearing naturally in honeycomb, basalt columns, and snowflakes.
The shape tiles perfectly without gaps, making it efficient for packing: The bees built their hexagons with mathematical precision.
Hexagons appear in board games, chemistry diagrams, and graphic design.
