Having a surface with a noticeable pattern, roughness, or feel, rather than being completely smooth.
“The surface is textured, almost like it's covered in tiny bumps.”
“It feels textured, kind of like the skin of an orange.”
Use 'textured' broadly in Task 8 whenever the surface of the object isn't smooth, since it's a flexible word covering bumps, ridges, or patterns. Follow it with a comparison, like 'textured like sandpaper,' to make it more vivid. This shows the examiner you can go beyond basic shape description into surface detail.
Synonyms: rough, patterned, grainy
