inhere

Be essentially present

To inhere is to exist as an essential or permanent attribute of something.

Rights may inhere in citizenship; certain qualities inhere in materials.

The word is formal and philosophical, describing properties that belong intrinsically rather than being added from outside: The power to tax inheres in sovereignty.

Something that inheres is inherent.
