thatched
Woven straw roofed
Thatched describes a roof covered with thatch—dried plant material like straw, reeds, or palm leaves bundled and layered to shed water.
The word evokes rustic or traditional architecture: a thatched cottage in the English countryside, thatched huts along the beach.
Thatched can also describe hair that lies thick and unruly, resembling straw.
