umbilical
Pertaining to navels
Umbilical relates to the navel or the cord that once connected it to the mother.
The umbilical cord delivers nutrients to a fetus and is cut at birth.
By extension, an umbilical is any vital supply line: The astronaut's umbilical tethered her to the spacecraft.
To cut the umbilical cord is to become independent, especially from parents.
