Sessile


Definition:

  • (a.) Attached without any sensible projecting support.
  • (a.) Resting directly upon the main stem or branch, without a petiole or footstalk; as, a sessile leaf or blossom.
  • (a.) Permanently attached; -- said of the gonophores of certain hydroids which never became detached.
