intertwined

Twisted around each other

Intertwined describes things twisted or woven together, whether literally or figuratively.

Vines become intertwined as they grow.

Lives, fates, or histories that are intertwined are closely connected and hard to separate: Their financial interests were deeply intertwined.

The word suggests mutual entanglement rather than one thing wrapped around another.
