Divided into or arranged in cells; having a cellular or compartmented structure.
From Latin cella (cell) plus the past participle suffix -ated. This biological and botanical term describes structures organized into distinct cell-like compartments.
Cellated structures appear everywhere in nature—from the hexagonal cells of honeycomb to the compartmented structure of plant tissues—and the word helps scientists describe how nature uses the cell as a building block.
