unextracted
Left in place
Unextracted describes something that has not been removed or drawn out from its source.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: unextracted oil remains in the ground, unextracted teeth haven't been pulled, unextracted data sits unprocessed in raw files.
The unextracted juice stayed in the pulp.
