Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Pseudofilarian

👉 In biology, a pseudofilarian is a type of plant that has no true leaves but instead produces a symbiotic fungus. This allows them to grow without physical growth and are often used in agriculture as a means of controlling pests. The term comes from the Latin word "pseudos," meaning "false" or "fake," which suggests they may not have actual leaves, but rather produce an artificial one for pest control.
