The term "cuboidal" refers to a shape that resembles a cube, characterized by having six equal square faces. In geometry, cuboidal objects have three dimensions: length, width, and height, all of which can be the same or different. Common examples of cuboidal shapes include dice and boxes. In biology, "cuboidal" often describes a type of epithelial tissue known as cuboidal epithelium. This tissue consists of cube-shaped cells and is typically found in glands and the lining of certain organs, playing a crucial role in secretion and absorption processes.
