(sess´ ul) [L. sedere: to sit] • Permanently attached; not moving.
Attached permanently, immobile.
A description of any plant part which attached directly to a shoot, rather than being attached by any type of stalk.
without petiole; term used to describe leaf attachment to stem. [RA
Immobile because of an attachment to a substrate (i.e. oysters).
Organisms attached to a substrate for their entire adult life.
without petioles, spikes, or stalks
Lacking a stalk, such as a leaf or flower with no obvious stalk.
permanently attached to a substrate; not free to move about; "an attached oyster"; "sessile marine animals and plants"
attached directly by the base; not having an intervening stalk; "sessile flowers"; "the shell of a sessile barnacle is attached directly to a substrate"
Organisms that remain attached to a substrate.
Lacking a stalk, attached directly at the base (as in a leaf without a petiole).
An organism that is not free to move about. It is usually permanently attached to a substrate of some kind. For example, a rock.

(SES-il) Having a broad base of attachment; not pedunculated.
an organism that does not move, but stays attached to one place on the sea floor, such as a mussel or a sea fan. As planktonic larvae, these animals float with the currents until they reach a suitable spot to settle onto the sea floor. See motile.
Something that is non motile.
attached to solid surfaces (opposite of planktonic)
(With regard to the Flower.) Lacking a flower stalk.
of a leaf, bud or fruit, lacking a stalk
not stalked (leaves and flowers)
Sessile means the organism is attached to the substrate at the bottom of the ocean and therefore cannot move around. Pelagic refers to living in the water of the ocean above the bottom. Pelagic organisms have the ability to move around. Benthos and benthic refers to living near or under substrate at the bottom of the ocean. Also used as a term to describe a leaf which has no Petiole.
Sessile festgewachsen Sésil With no pedicel, no footstalk, the flower being directly on the stalk.
One structure attached to another, without a distinct constriction (cf. pedunculate, petiolate).
Permanently attached. For example, a barnacle.
Fixed or attached; unable to move.

(adj.) Without a stalk; sitting directly on its base.
leaves or flowers connected with the stem without footstalks.
Sessile - Pertaining to a plant or animal attached to a base and not free to move.
Describes an organism that is sedentary and permanently attached, e.g. adult oysters and barnacles.
a lesion is sessile when it is attached directly to the body by a broad base of tissue
lacking a leaf stalk or petiole - i.e. the leaf is attached or 'sits' directly on the stem.
permanently attached to a substrate and unable to move on its own. Adult sponges are sessile.
Describes animals that are permanently attached or fixed in position to a surface. Oysters are sessile organisms.
Without a stalk. See drawing of leaf attachments.
Attached directly to the base without a stalk.
without a stalk, e.g. when applied to a stigma, indicates that the style is absent, the stigma being 'sessile' on the ovary.
Plants or animals that are permanently attached to a surface.
lacking a stalk attached directly to the substrate.
Permanently attached at the base; fixed in one place and unable to move around.
Attached to a substrate; non-motile.
without a flower stalk, without petiole.
a leaf that is directly attached to the plant stem with no petiole
An organism that does not move from a fixed location except during a brief, dispersal phase. Some examples of sessile organisms include mussels, barnacles, and sponges.
With no stalk or petiole.
Lesion without a stalk connecting it to the main bone.
Without a stalk of any kind; said of a leaf or flower coming right off of a stem.
Without a stalk and therefore sitting directly on the branch.
