Meaning of "calyciform" in English

The term "calyciform" originates from botanical terminology and describes something that is shaped like a calyx. In botany, a calyx is the collective term for the sepals of a flower, which typically form a protective layer around the flower's developing bud. Thus, an object that is calyciform possesses a structure or appearance reminiscent of this floral component, embodying the shape or form akin to a cup or a narrow dome. This word is specialized and primarily found in scientific contexts related to plant morphology.
