invaginated
Folded into itself
Invaginated describes something that has been folded or turned inward upon itself, like a finger of a glove pushed inside out.
The term appears primarily in biology and medicine, describing tissue that has formed a pocket or cavity by infolding: The invaginated membrane created a hollow structure.
The verb invaginate means to fold inward in this way.
