reticular
Having net structure
Reticular means resembling or forming a network, with parts that cross and interconnect like a net.
The term appears most often in anatomy and biology: the reticular formation is a network of nerve pathways in the brainstem; reticular tissue forms a mesh-like framework in organs.
More generally, anything with a netted or web-like structure can be called reticular.
