vocabulary简明 An organism is a living thing that can function on its own. That includes your pet guppy, the tree in your backyard, and — of course — you.
vocabulary扩展 While the word organism typically indicates an actual living thing, you can also use organism to refer to anything that acts or functions like a living thing. For example, the social scene at a high school might be described as "a social organism" because it seems to have a mind of its own — like a living thing or even a vicious animal, depending on where one falls on the popularity scale.
