Definition
A specialized reproductive individual or form within a colonial organism, responsible for producing sex cells or contributing to reproduction.
Etymology
From Greek 'gono-' (reproductive) and '-phore' (bearer/carrier), shortened and modified to refer to a reproductive individual within a colony.
Kelly Says
In colonial animals like corals and siphonophores, different individuals have different jobs—gonophs are like the reproductive specialists, while others focus on feeding or defense!
