Hi Sarah Mae,

Embedded Structure seems to cover a variety of things. Anything that is structured to perform a given task or function, and has a secondary function embedded in it.

Signal lines embedded in a multi-layered structure.

Secondary code embedded in a program...etc.

I did find a few links you may like to look at.

It depends what kind of embedded structure you're talking about.. like scientifically or in computer programming and stuff

but in general an embedded structure is a part of a program or structure that serves a main purpose within that program / structure, but it is not always obvious (thus, embedded) it could be hidden or just put in the middle/inside of the structure.

(for some reason my answer from earlier wasn't posted)

But... there is also an embedded structure in language,,,

if you would like... I found an journal article that details this quite extensively...

I hope this helps you
