Voids possess a very complex internal structure and dynamics. Using N-body simulations we study the hierarchical nature of sub-structures present in the cosmic web (CW). We use the SpineWeb method which provides a complete characterization of the CW into its primary constituents: voids, walls, filaments, and nodes. We aim to characterize the inner compositions of voids by detecting their internal filamentary structure and explore the impact of this on the properties of void galaxies. Using a semi-analytical galaxy evolution model we explore the impact of the CW on several galaxies' properties. We find the fraction of haloes living in various CW components to be a function of their mass, with the majority of the haloes of mass below 10¹²M_⊙/h, residing in voids and haloes of higher masses distributed mostly in walls. Similarly, in the Stellar-to-Halo mass relationship, we observe an environmental dependence for haloes of masses below 10¹²M_⊙/h, showing an increased stellar mass fraction for the densest environments. The spin is lower for galaxies in the densest environments for the mass range of 10¹⁰-10¹²M_⊙/h. Finally, we found a strong trend of higher metallicity fractions for filaments and node galaxies, with respect to the full sample, in the range of M_*<10¹⁰M_⊙/h. Our results show that cosmic voids possess an intricate internal network of substructures. This in turn makes them a complex environment for galaxy formation, impacting in an unique way the properties and evolution of the chosen few galaxies that form inside them.
