tangible

Able to touch

Tangible means able to be touched or perceived physically: tangible assets like buildings and equipment, as opposed to intangible ones like goodwill or brand recognition.

By extension, tangible describes anything concrete or definite enough to grasp mentally: tangible evidence, tangible progress, tangible results.

If something is tangible, you can point to it.
