Bearing or producing gemmules; capable of asexual reproduction through small buds.
From gemmule plus the suffix -ferous (bearing, producing, carrying). This technical biological term describes organisms with this reproductive capacity.
Gemmuliferous organisms have a superpower: they can completely repair and regenerate themselves through gemmules—some flatworms can be cut into dozens of pieces, and each piece regenerates into a whole new worm! It's nature's ultimate insurance policy against damage and death.
