Having two pores or small openings, typically used in biology and botany to describe structures like pollen or spores.
From bi- (two) + porous (Latin porus). Similar to biporose, this is a technical term that emerged in botanical and biological sciences to describe dual-pore structures.
Pollen grains are incredibly diverse, and terms like 'biporous' let scientists quickly communicate about specific pollen types—a grain with two pores looks and behaves differently from one with three, which matters hugely for plant identification and evolution.
