Inflections: Plural zoophyta.

Forms: 1600s zoophiton, 1600s zoophyta (singular), 1600s– zoophyton (now rare), 1800s–1900s zoöphyta (plural).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin zoophyton.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin zoophyton (15th cent.) < Hellenistic Greek ζῳόϕυτον plant < ancient Greek ζῳο- zoo- comb. form + ϕυτόν plant (see phyto- comb. form and compare -phyte comb. form). In quot. 1601 after French zoophyte (see zoophyte n.). Compare slightly later zoophyte n. (slightly earlier with sense 2).The plural form zoophyta reflects the plural forms of the respective Greek and Latin words. In the former group name Zoophyta after scientific Latin Zoophyta ( Linnaeus Systema Naturae (1735)). The use of zoophyta with singular agreement in quot. 1601 may show a reinterpretation after Latin feminine singular forms in -a.

Biology. Now historical.

1. Originally: an animal thought to resemble or have certain characteristics of a plant or flower. In later use (usually in plural): spec. any animal belonging to the (former) group Zoophyta, comprising certain sessile invertebrate animals, typically with a branching or radiating structure, such as crinoids, hydrozoans, sponges, and bryozoans. Cf. zoophyte n. 1.Also called animal flower, animal plant, phytozoon, plant-animal.
