Penetratable

Penetrable describes something that can be pierced, entered, or understood. It signifies an ability to be passed through, such as with a physical object, or comprehended, like an idea. This implies a lack of an impenetrable barrier, whether physical or abstract, allowing for access, absorption, or comprehension. The degree of penetrability can vary, ranging from easily accessible to requiring significant force or effort to overcome the resistance offered. It is a characteristic defined by a lack of complete obstruction.
