immobile organism such as corrals and barnacles
sessile organism: an organism (animal), such as a barnacle or a coral polyp, that is permanently attached to a substrate or base and not free to move about.
Barnacles and coral are sessile animals because they cannot move about.

Sessile organisms live all over the place! Anything that does not move around is considered sessile. I think a lot of the time it is used to describe sea creatures like anemones and sponges.
Terrestrial animals cannot be sessile because they live on land. Sessile animals are aquatic and live in the water. +++ That's no the definition of "sessile". A sessile organism is one that anchors itself to one place for its life, or most of its life. Most do live in water but by no means all aquatic animals are sessile. Fish are not!
Sessile animals eat food particles floating in the water.
Producers photosynthesize, making them sessile. Animals that eat the producers are called consumers. Consumers are motile. Remember, sessile means immobile, and most plants are sessile.
motile means those animals which are able to move [eg. animals] from one place to another which sessile animals [eg. sea anemone] are those which cannot move.
The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is motile; they move themselves by a mechanism similar to jet propulsion. Sessile animals do not have brains, but the squid does.
The phylum of sessile animals is Porifera, which includes organisms such as sponges. Sessile animals are ones that are permanently attached to a surface and do not move around freely.
Sessile organisms are immobile. So. I can't think of any animals. But plants are sessile. Edit: Corals (related to anenomes) and sponges are good examples of sessile animals, the latter has a motile larval stage before it settles on a substrate and becomes sessile.

No they are not any sessile animals on land.

Sessile means nonmotile. Animals in this category include reef-building corals, mollusks, barnacles, and sponges. On land, scale insects mature as sessile animals.
Producers photosynthesize, making them sessile. Animals that eat the producers are called consumers. Consumers are motile. Remember, sessile means immobile, and most plants are sessile.
motile means those animals which are able to move [eg. animals] from one place to another which sessile animals [eg. sea anemone] are those which cannot move.
The definition of sessile is something that is attached at the base, like the leaf that is attached by stem to a branch... Do you mean noturnal?
The type of animals that are typically absent in a soft bottom subtidal community are sessile. A sessile animal is not able to move and is permanently attached to something solid.
The giant squid (Architeuthis dux) is motile; they move themselves by a mechanism similar to jet propulsion. Sessile animals do not have brains, but the squid does.
a hydra as a polyp is not sessile but when it grows to be a hydra it is sessile
