striated
Marked by lines
Striated means marked with parallel lines, grooves, or ridges.
The term appears most often in anatomy and biology: striated muscle refers to skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue whose fibers show alternating light and dark bands under magnification.
Geology uses it for rocks scored by glacial movement.
Any surface with fine parallel markings can be described as striated.
