A tube that extends from a bacteria.
A pilus (Latin for 'hair'; plural : pili) is a hairlike appendage found on the surface of many bacteria.[1] The terms pilus and fimbria (Latin for 'fringe'; plural: fimbriae) can be used interchangeably, although some researchers reserve the term pilus for the appendage required for bacterial conjugation. All pili are primarily composed of oligomeric pilin proteins.
Dozens of these structures can exist on the bacteria. Some bacterial viruses or bacteriophages attach to receptors on pili at the start of their reproductive cycle.
Pili are antigenic. They are also fragile and constantly replaced, sometimes with pili of different composition, resulting in altered antigenicity. Specific host responses to old pili structure are not effective on the new structure. Recombination genes of pili code for variable (V) and constant (C) regions of the pili (similar to immunoglobulindiversity).Answer this question…
the pilus of a bacteria cell helps the cell stick to surfaces
A pilus (Latin for 'hair'; plural : pili) is a hairlike appendage. It is found on many types of bacteria. You might also see the term fimbria used instead of pilus.
A tube that extends from a bacterium. This is from Apex Btw.

This is bacterial reproduction in the form of conjugation.
it is called a sex pilus

Pilus is a type of virus because it is found on the tops of bacteria. So my answer concludes with yes.
it is a wiggily thing
Pilus, or "pili" for plural.
A "Pilus" is the Latin for a hair, so following the Latin rules for plurals, the plural is "pili".
