Bothridium

/bɑˈθrɪdiəm/ noun

Definition

A small pit-like or groove-shaped sucker on parasitic worms, especially tapeworms, used to attach to and feed from the tissues of their host organisms.

Etymology

From Greek 'bothros' (pit or groove) plus the Latin diminutive suffix '-idium,' meaning small; adopted into parasitological terminology to describe the microscopic attachment structures of tapeworms.

Kelly Says

A single bothridium under a microscope looks like a tiny, intricate suction cup with grooves—parasites evolved these over millions of years to perfectly match the intestines they invade!
