Meaning of "samaroid" in English

The term "samaroid" refers to a resemblance to a samara, which is a type of winged fruit typically seen in trees like maples or ashes. Samaras are known for their flattened, winged structure, allowing them to glide through the air when they fall from the tree, aiding in seed dispersal. When an object or form is described as "samaroid," it suggests that the shape or structure is reminiscent of this naturally occurring aerodynamic design, often implying a flat and elongated wing-like form.
