Definition: Polyplecton is a biological structure consisting of multiple cells that are interconnected through a network of cell membranes and organelles, known as vesicles or microdomains. It is characterized by its ability to form complex structures, such as membrane-bound vesicles, which can carry substances across the membrane. Polyplectons are found in diverse organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and plants, where they play crucial roles in nutrient uptake, waste removal, and energy production.
