wedgelike
Shaped like pie
Shaped like a wedge—thick at one end and tapering to a thin edge at the other.
The term describes anything with this triangular profile: wedgelike slices of cheese, a wedgelike formation of geese.
In technical contexts, it appears in geology and anatomy to describe structures that taper to a point.
