multibranched
Having multiple offshoots
Having many branches.
The term applies literally to trees, shrubs, and other plants with numerous limbs extending from a central stem: a multibranched oak shading the yard.
It extends to anything with a branching structure—river systems, organizational charts, neural networks, or complex narratives: The multibranched plot kept readers guessing.
