Meaning of "zooecium" in English

Zooecium refers to the hard, protective casing or enclosure created by bryozoans, which are small aquatic invertebrates also known as moss animals. These organisms live in colonies, and each zooecium houses an individual bryozoan. This structure is integral to the colony’s stability, providing support and protection to each zooid, the individual animal, which performs functions like feeding and respiration. The composition of a zooecium can vary, often being calcareous or chitinous, depending on the species.
