<p><blockquote>"Scutoid is a <a href="page.php?w=prismatoid">prismatoid</a> to which one extra mid-level <a href="page.php?w=Vertex_%28geometry%29">vertex</a> has been added. This extra vertex forces some of the "<a href="page.php?w=Face_%28geometry%29">faces</a>" of the resulting object to curve. This means that Scutoids are not <a href="page.php?w=polyhedra">polyhedra</a>, because not all of their faces are <a href="page.php?w=Plane_%28geometry%29">planar</a>. ... For the computational biologists who created/discovered the Scutoid, the key property of the shape is that it can combine with itself and other geometric objects like frustums to create 3D packings of epithelial cells."<br /> - <a href="page.php?w=Laura_Taalman">Laura Taalman</a></blockquote></p><p>
