Meaning of "zooid" in English

A zooid is a single animal organism that forms part of a colonial animal, often exhibiting some degree of physical individuality. In many colonial invertebrates, such as corals and bryozoans, each zooid plays a specific role in the colony, such as feeding or reproduction. While they can function independently, zooids are typically interdependent on one another for survival within the colony structure. The term is primarily used in biological and zoological contexts to describe these tiny, often microscopic, organisms.

However, they remain fundamentally interconnected, contributing to the overall life processes of the colony, found in creatures such as bryozoans and coral reefs. The term is of particular relevance in biological studies, focusing on the structural and functional aspects of colonies.
