Plants or organisms that reproduce by apomixis, creating offspring without sexual fusion of gametes.
From apomixis + -t (agent suffix) + plural -s. This noun emerged in 20th-century botany to refer to the organisms themselves that use this reproductive strategy.
Apomicts include common plants like some dandelions and strawberries that break the rules of sexual reproduction—they're nature's cloning experts that have been creating perfect copies of themselves for millennia.
