A plant that has an undefined or irregular form; a plant lacking a typical organized structure.
From Greek amorph- (formless) + phyton (plant). A botanical term combining Greek roots to describe plants with unusual shapes.
Some mosses and lichens are basically amorphophytes—they break the usual plant rules by not having roots, stems, or leaves in the traditional sense, so botanists needed this term to say 'yes, it's a plant, but it's weird about it.'
