Bearing or carrying a head, or having a distinct head structure.
From Greek 'kephale' (head) + '-phorous' (bearing or carrying, from 'pherein'). This combines the idea of something that literally or structurally carries a head as part of its anatomy.
In zoology, this term precisely describes creatures like certain crustaceans and cephalopods where the head is distinctly separated and defined—it's a technical way of saying 'equipped with a proper head,' which sounds simple but matters enormously in evolutionary classification.
