Sessile means attached. So a sessile organism is attached to a substrate.
Most producers are sessile, meaning they are stationary and do not move from one place to another. This includes plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. These organisms generally rely on other means, such as wind, water, or animals, to disperse their spores or seeds for reproduction.
Tapinoma sessile was created in 1917.
Terrestrial animals are not sessile because they need to move to find food, water, mates, and shelter. Being able to move also helps them escape predators and find optimal environments for survival. Movement is a crucial adaptation for terrestrial animals to thrive in their environments.
