word multicellular
definition Consisting of many cells.
eg_sentence Multicellular organisms—fungi, plants, and animals—have specialized cells that perform different functions.
explanation Multicellular organisms are distinguished from the very primitive single-celled organisms—bacteria, algae, amoebas, etc. Even sponges, simple as they are, have specialized cell types such as digestive cells. In complex multicellular organisms, only the surface cells can exchange substances with the external environment, so the organisms have developed transport systems such as the circulatory system, in which the blood brings gases and nutrients to the cells and removes waste products from them
