Describing organisms or cells that produce two different types of gametes, or sex cells.
From di- (two) + gamete (a reproductive cell) + -ic (adjectival suffix). The term comes from Greek gamos (marriage), since gametes 'marry' during reproduction.
Some plants and animals are digametic, meaning they create two completely different types of sex cells—this is why some organisms can switch between male and female roles.
