An adult feather star is not sessile. It eventually develops arms and is able to move around. Sea lilies are sessile.
Fungi are non motile means they are not able to move.
Motile means they move under their own power. Flagella or cilia. Opposite of sessile, which means fixed in position, or at the mercy of currents.
The pores of the sponges are responsible for the supply of food and oxygen. As they are SESSILE (fixed at one place) so they can't move to catch their prey, but their pores do the work for them......

immobile organism such as corrals and barnacles
Sessile refers to an organism that is permanently attached to a surface and does not move. These organisms rely on passive means, such as water currents, for food and reproduction as they cannot actively seek out resources.
An adult feather star is not sessile. It eventually develops arms and is able to move around. Sea lilies are sessile.
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.
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.
That depends. During an organism's life, it can basically go anywhere, unless it's completely sessile (can't move). When an organism dies, the body is broken down into the chemicals it is comprised of (such as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur) and used to provide energy for some other organism.
polyps are sessile, therefore they do not move
Now extinct, they are considered to have been sessile animals. That is, they did not move about.
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.
Those that are motile and have flagella do move on their own, while those that are sessile do not move on their own.
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.
