Etymology of HYDROSOME

The word "Hydrosome" is a combination of two Greek roots: "hydro" meaning "water" and "soma" meaning "body". The term was coined by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel in the late 19th century to describe a type of aquatic organism that comprises a colony of highly specialized individual organisms called zooids. These zooids, collectively known as hydroid polyps, make up the hydrosome and perform specific functions within the colony. Haeckel derived the term from the Greek roots to emphasize the aquatic nature of these organisms and their interconnected body structure.
