Embedded
From BluWiki
A connected group of stones is said to be embedded when it is connected to other stones, of the same color, that are not themselves part of the group. An example will help to illustrate the idea. Let us say that the pattern that the builder must build is a smiley face, such as the one in figure 1. Now, let us imagine that during the course of the game, the board ends up in the state in figure 2. Clearly, although the pattern of red stones is not itself a smiley face, it does contain a smiley face, as can be seen by highlighting some of the stones, as in figure 3. The question is: has the builder won? Well, if the pattern may be embedded, then yes, the builder has won. He has built a smiley face that is embedded in a larger pattern of red stones. Practically speaking, most patterns may be embedded. Therefore, if you are unsure whether the builder's pattern can be embedded, assume that it can.
