"Zoospore" is a word in ENGLISH
A spore provided with one or more slender cilia, by the
vibration of which it swims in the water. Zoospores are produced by
many green, and by some olive-brown, algae. In certain species they are
divided into the larger macrozoospores and the smaller microzoospores.
Called also sporozoid, and swarmspore.
See Swarmspore.
Adventures are to the adventurous. They abound on every side; but only the chosen few have the courage to embrace them. And they will not come to you; you must go out to seek them. Then they meet you half-way, and rush into your arms, for they know their true lovers.
