Also quoting wikipedia (but real dictionaries will agree or have more
details),
"A blob is a shapeless mass."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blob)
I think this definition transfers well to blobs in software, though.
Without intrusive tools (a disassembler, etc.) you can't make out the
structural details of a blob.
Thanks,
Jonathan
