Definition
Moving or locomoting by means of cirri, which are hair-like or tendril-like structures used for movement.
Etymology
From Latin cirrus (curl, tendril) + gradus (step, grade). The term combines the root for curl-like appendages with the concept of stepping or walking, creating a word describing movement via these specialized structures.
Kelly Says
Many microscopic organisms like ciliates use cirri to move through water with remarkable speed and precision—some can change direction in milliseconds by coordinating hundreds of these tiny legs!
