Having the shape of a rod, staff, or baculum; rod-shaped or stick-like.
From Latin 'baculum' plus '-form' from 'forma' meaning 'shape,' literally describing something shaped like a staff.
Biologists use 'baculiform' to describe everything from bacteria to bones to fungi—it's a catch-all shape category that means 'basically a stick,' and shows how useful simple geometric descriptions are in nature!
