Plural of agamus; individuals that reproduce asexually or organisms that don't require a mate for reproduction.
From Greek 'agamos' meaning 'unmarried' or 'without sexual union.' The plural form '-is' is used in scientific nomenclature to denote multiple instances of asexual organisms.
Some of nature's most successful organisms use agamous reproduction—bacteria can divide and create clones faster than sexually reproducing animals ever could, which is why they've dominated Earth for billions of years!
