True enough there are items in nature that are square-like, but probably the best way to create a recognizable and effective comparision or contrast would be to stick with something familiar to the reader, which in this case means something man-made.

However, there are a few things in nature that are squarish, or have rectangular features.

Cyrstals of various kinds and sorts have rectangular/cubic sides.
Lobster eyes(I know how many of us have actually stared into lobster eyes) look very much like graph-paper.

The cross section of the stem of of plants from the mint family is square.

There are polygons in nature. The balsalt pillars of The Giant’s Causeway in Ireland and the Devil’s Postpile in California are examples. Sometimes squares turn up in the piles of stone.

And honeycombs, although hexagonal, each side is a near perfect rectangle.

Just a few examples.
