Definition
Plural of antheridium; the male reproductive organs in mosses, liverworts, ferns, and algae that produce sperm cells.
Etymology
From Greek 'anthera' (anther) + '-idium' (Latin diminutive suffix). The plural form follows Latin conventions where '-idium' becomes '-idia', used since the 1800s in plant biology.
Kelly Says
Antheridia are nature's secret way of doing sex without flowers—these tiny structures let mosses and ferns reproduce with microscopic sperm that have tails and can swim, making them basically aquatic sex organs.
