netlike
Having open weave
Netlike describes something resembling a net—having an open, interlaced structure with crossing strands and spaces between: netlike patterns of veins on a leaf, the netlike membrane stretched across the opening.
The word applies to anything with a grid or mesh quality, whether fabric, biological tissue, or abstract structures.
