Having many small pores or a finely porous texture without clearly defined larger openings.
From Greek 'aporos' (porous) plus the English adjectival suffix '-ose.' This term emerged in the 19th century in scientific literature describing plant and mineral structures.
While 'porous' describes something with obvious holes you might see, 'aporose' describes something so densely micro-porous it almost looks solid—it's the difference between a sponge and a piece of pumice stone.
