Resembling, relating to, or containing a thick cortex or bark-like substance.
From 'cortex' plus '-ose' (full of, abounding in). This botanical and anatomical adjective describes structures with prominent cortical features.
Corticose describes plants with thick, substantial bark—the '-ose' suffix literally means 'full of,' so a corticose tree is basically saying 'this tree is absolutely packed with cortex'!
