Definition
Having two cilia (hair-like structures on cells); characterized by or containing two cilium-like appendages.
Etymology
From 'bi-' meaning two, combined with 'ciliate' (from Latin 'cilium' meaning eyelash or hair-like structure). This biological term emerged in the 19th century as microscopy allowed scientists to observe cellular structures.
Kelly Says
Many single-celled organisms use their two cilia to spin like tiny propellers—biciliate creatures invented the basic swimming motion millions of years before fish evolved fins!
