Resembling or relating to algae; having the characteristics of algae.
From Latin algae 'seaweed' plus the Greek suffix -oid 'resembling.' This descriptive term is used in biology to classify organisms or structures that have algae-like properties.
Scientists use 'algoid' to describe life forms at the boundary between plants and single-celled organisms—creatures that blur the line between what we think of as 'plant-like' and something entirely different.
