Meaning of "umbonated" in English

"Umbonated" is an adjective used in biology to describe a dome-shaped, projecting structure often found on the surfaces of organisms or biological formations such as shells or fungi. The term is derived from the Latin "umbo," meaning a rounded protuberance. This word is commonly used to indicate that an area is swollen or raised in the center, typically forming a bulge or knob. In taxonomy and identification, recognizing an umbonated feature helps in classifying different species based on the shape or structure of shells, caps, or other formations.
