Of the cord linking mother to baby (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umbilical

(Other definitions for umbilical that I've seen before include "This cord joins baby to mother before birth" , "Of the link between mother and baby?" , "This cord attaches baby to mother" , "This cord connects foetus to placenta" , "Cord connecting the foetus with the placenta" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
