Body organization
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/body_organization
- Definition: overall pattern in the body of one individual of this taxon

colonial
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/Colonial
- Definition: Colonial organisms are clonal colonies composed of many physically connected, interdependent individuals. The subunits of colonial organisms can be unicellular, as in the alga Volvox (a coenobium), or multicellular, as in the phylum Bryozoa. The former type may have been the first step toward multicellular organisms
