Relating to or consisting of bioblasts; describing living structures at the most fundamental level of organization.
From bioblast + -ic (adjective suffix). Associated with early vitalist theories of biology that attempted to explain life's origins through hypothetical minimal units.
The term 'bioblastic' appears mainly in historical biology texts as a reminder that science constantly updates—what seemed revolutionary in 1880 looks quaint today because we discovered the actual basics of life.
