nonfibrous
Lacking stringy texture
Nonfibrous means lacking fibers or a fibrous structure.
The term appears in technical contexts—medicine, materials science, biology—to distinguish smooth or homogeneous substances from those composed of threadlike strands: nonfibrous connective tissue, nonfibrous insulation materials.
Also spelled non-fibrous.
