nonstratified
Lacking distinct strata
Nonstratified describes something that lacks layers or distinct levels of organization.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: nonstratified tissue in anatomy consists of a single layer of cells rather than multiple stacked layers, while nonstratified sampling in statistics doesn't divide a population into subgroups before selection.
The researcher used a nonstratified approach to gather data from the entire community at once.
