Having a smooth or unadorned tongue with few or no prominent bumpy structures, characteristic of certain animals.
From Greek 'gymnos' (naked) + 'glossa' (tongue) + Latin '-ate' (having). The suffix creates an adjective describing organisms possessing this tongue characteristic.
Gymnoglossate organisms have smooth tongues that are actually more sensitive in some ways than bumpy ones—they can pick up chemical signals and vibrations with incredible precision!
