Having the form or shape of a granule; resembling a grain or small rounded particle.
From Latin 'granulum' + '-form' (having the form of). This descriptive term is used in anatomy and biology to describe structures that resemble granules.
Describing something as 'granuliform' was particularly useful in pre-photography naturalist science—it let botanists and anatomists precisely communicate what oddly-shaped structures looked like without needing actual images.
