Having the shape, structure, or appearance of a mite or resembling mites in form.
From Latin 'acarus' (mite) plus '-form' (from 'forma', shape), describing something that looks mite-like.
Some parasites that aren't actually mites have acariform features because evolution independently created similar shapes for similar survival challenges—nature's solution to problems often looks the same across different creatures.
