ZOOID
n. pl.
An order of pelagic Hydrozoa including species which form complex free-swimming communities composed of numerous zooids of various kinds, some of which act as floats or as swimming organs, others as feeding or nutritive zooids, and others as reproductive zooids. See Illust. under Physallia, and Porpita.
n.
One of the stellate or irregular clusters of intimately united zooids which are imbedded in, or scattered over, the surface of the common tissue of many compound ascidians.
n.
One of the individual animals in a composite group, as of Anthozoa, Hydroidea, and Bryozoa; -- sometimes restricted to those individuals in which the mouth and digestive organs are not developed.
n.
A zooid of the third generation in asexual reproduction.
n.
One of the movable, slender, spinelike organs or parts with which certain bryozoans are furnished. They are regarded as specially modified zooids, of nearly the same nature as Avicularia.
n.
An asexual zooid, usually forming one of a series of larval forms in the agamic reproduction of various trematodes and other parasitic worms. The sporocyst generally develops from an egg, but in its turn produces other larvae by internal budding, or by the subdivision of a part or all of its contents into a number of minute germs. See Redia.
n.
One of the special defensive zooids of certain hydroids. They have the form of long, slender tentacles, and bear lasso cells.
n.
The growth or development of an animal or a zooid from a nonsexual germ.
n.
One of a peculiar kind of zooids situated on the polyp-stem of certain Siphonophora. They somewhat resemble the feeding zooids, but are destitute of mouths. See Siphonophora.
n.
A genus of Actinaria, including numerous species, found mostly in tropical seas. The zooids or polyps resemble small, elongated actinias united together at their bases by fleshy stolons, and thus forming extensive groups. The tentacles are small and bright colored.
a.
Pertaining to, or resembling, an animal.
n.
One of the cells or tubes which inclose the feeling zooids of Bryozoa. See Illust. of Sea Moss.
n.
An animal which is the sole product of a single egg; -- opposed to zooid.
n.
The nutritive zooids of a hydroid, collectively, as distinguished from the gonosome, or reproductive zooids.
n.
A hydrozoan reproductive zooid or gonophore which does not become medusoid in form or structure. See Illust. under Athecata.
n.
An animal in one of its inferior stages of development, as one of the intermediate forms in alternate generation.
n.
An organic body or cell having locomotion, as a spermatic cell or spermatozooid.
n.
An extension of the integument of the body, or of the body wall, from which buds are developed, giving rise to new zooids, and thus forming a compound animal in which the zooids usually remain united by the stolons. Such stolons are often present in Anthozoa, Hydroidea, Bryozoa, and social ascidians. See Illust. under Scyphistoma.
n.
The zooids of a compound anthozoan, collectively.
a.
Of or pertaining to a zooid; as, a zooidal form.
