Basal is a more scientific word meaning 'forming the base' or 'most basic, most fundamental'. In biology and medicine, you'll meet it in phrases like 'basal metabolic rate' — the minimum amount of energy your body needs just to stay alive while resting, without doing anything else. In plants and skin, 'basal' cells or layers are the ones at the very bottom, from which everything else grows.
基底的、基礎的（常見於醫學、生物學術語）
