In zoology, a segment or section of an organism specifically related to or involved in reproduction.
From 'gono-' (reproductive) + 'tome' (Greek for section, segment, or incision). Anatomical term describing reproductive portions of segmented organisms.
Worms and segmented creatures have body sections for different jobs—some segments are for eating, some for moving, and gonotomes are the reproduction section, like specialized cargo cars in a biological train.
