unshaped

/ʌnʃˈeɪpt/ adj

Having no distinct shape; formless or amorphous

Word Origin Shape comes from an ancient root meaning 'to create, form.' Unshaped is something not yet formed, still in its raw state. The same root gives us reshape (form again), misshapen (badly formed), and shapely (well-formed). The -ed suffix marks it as a state: not having been shaped.
