Anisotropic materials have properties that vary with direction, typically due to their ordered internal structure (like crystals). Isotropic materials have properties that are the same in all directions, typically due to their disordered or randomly oriented structure (like amorphous solids or polycrystalline aggregates with randomly oriented grains).
Which one of the following is anisotropic in nature?
