Having ten ribs or rib-like ridges or projections on the surface of something.
From Latin 'decem' (ten) + 'costa' (rib) + '-ate' (adjective suffix). This botanical and zoological term describes organisms or structures with exactly ten prominent ribs.
Scientific names get wonderfully specific: a decemcostate shell has exactly 10 ribs, which helps scientists classify and identify species without needing long descriptive names.
