Exothecate

/ˌɛksəˈθɛkeɪt/ adjective

Definition

Having an exotheca; possessing an external sheath or protective covering characteristic of certain corals and organisms.

Etymology

From exotheca + the suffix -ate meaning 'having' or 'possessing.' This adjective form describes organisms with this particular structural feature.

Kelly Says

Many marine creatures with external shells or sheaths are called exothecate—it's like they're wearing biological armor that they built themselves and can't take off!
