Cladose

Definition

Having many branches or being characterized by a branching structure.

Etymology

From Greek 'klados' (branch) + Latin '-osus' (full of). Developed in botanical terminology to describe highly branched plant forms.

Kelly Says

The most cladose plants are like nature's fractals—each branch splits into smaller branches in the same pattern, which is why ferns and some algae look so mathematically beautiful.
