French translation of zygomorphic is 
zygomorphe

Meaning of "zygomorphic" in English

"Zygomorphic" refers to the symmetry of certain biological structures, particularly flowers. It describes something that can be divided into equal halves only by a single plane of symmetry. This characteristic is common in many flowers where the sides are mirror images of each other, but not identical to the top and bottom. Zygomorphic symmetry is contrasted with actinomorphic symmetry, where parts are symmetrical along multiple planes. Understanding these differences aids in plant identification and classification, as symmetry can be a key feature of different plant families.

Meaning of "zygomorphe" in French

In French, "zygomorphe" carries the same botanical context as in English. It describes the type of symmetry found in certain flowers or biological structures. These structures have a single plane of symmetry, making them mirror images when divided from side to side. This term is essential in botanical studies as it helps categorize plants and understand their evolutionary adaptations. The distinction from other types, such as "actinomorphe," highlights specific plant families and their unique characteristics in structure and form.
