That’s why we have the compound word “through-hole”.
90% of important parts on living things are pockets and manipulations of surface area, two things completely ignored by topology. Topology is interesting mathematically, and has meaning for traversal and knot problems, but it’s not really useful to describe reality.

Topology is immensely useful to describe reality.
That’s why we have a diverse set of words such as “divot,” “indentation,” “pit,” “well,” and so much more!
Topology is a component of the language called “mathematics” we use to understand, describe, and model reality in concrete terms.
