👉 Physophoran is a term used in the field of biology to describe organisms that have evolved to survive on Earth's surface as an aquatic or terrestrial organism. These organisms are adapted for both water and land environments, with some species being able to adapt to either by changing their body structure or physiology. Physophanors typically have specialized adaptations such as streamlined bodies, sharp claws or teeth, and the ability to move through water or mud in order to survive.
