Having a fleshy or meaty texture or appearance; resembling flesh.
From Latin 'carnosus,' derived from 'carnis' (flesh). This botanical and anatomical term describes something that is thick, succulent, and flesh-like in composition.
Botanists use 'carnose' to describe succulent plants like cacti and aloe that store water in thick, fleshy leaves. It's the same Latin root as 'carnivore,' but 'carnose' refers to what something looks like rather than what eats it!
