An organism is motile if it has the power to move.
The animal kingdom is mainly composed of motile organisms, while most organisms in the plant kingdom are non-motile. Some protists and fungi can also exhibit motility.
air, water, and other organisms
The opposite of sessile is motile. Motile organisms are able to move or change position on their own, as opposed to sessile organisms which are fixed in one place.

Fungi are non motile means they are not able to move.
A receding water line would expose motile organisms, such as fish or crabs, allowing them to move to new areas or seek refuge as their habitat changes. In contrast, non-motile organisms, like sea anemones or barnacles, would remain in place, becoming more visible as the water recedes. This change in visibility could enhance predation risk for non-motile organisms, while motile organisms may have to adapt their behaviors or find new environments. Consequently, the dynamics of the ecosystem could shift as species interact differently with their altered surroundings.
No, eggs are not motile. They are typically stationary and rely on external factors like water flow or other organisms for movement. In the context of reproduction, sperm are the motile gametes that swim towards the egg for fertilization to occur.

"Motile" refers to organisms that are capable of movement, such as animals and some single-celled organisms. "Sessile" refers to organisms that are fixed in one place and do not move, such as plants and some types of animals like sponges.
Cuttlefish ARE nekton because they are aquatic, motile (self-propelled) living organisms.
Motile bacteria are bacteria that have the ability to move spontaneously. They typically move using flagella, which are long, whip-like appendages that propel the bacteria through liquid environments. Motility allows bacteria to explore their surroundings, find sources of nutrients, and avoid harmful conditions.
