How to use "Spikier" in context?
Spikier describes something with more spikes or sharp edges than a smooth surface. This can be seen in the way light reflects off of objects, such as a leaf blade. Spikiness can be helpful in certain situations, such as catching a fish, as the object stands out from the water and can be more easily grasped. Spikiness can also be attractive to animals and insects, as it can make the object more difficult to pass over or avoid.
