interconnected

All tied together

Interconnected describes things linked together in a network or system where each part affects the others.

The word emphasizes mutual relationship rather than simple connection: The global economy is deeply interconnected.

Interconnected systems, whether electrical grids or ecosystems, share the property that changes in one element ripple through the whole.
