A hermaphrodite is an organism that possesses both male and female reproductive organs or characteristics. This term is often used in Biology to describe certain plants and animals that can produce both male and female gametes. In humans, the term is less commonly used and is typically replaced by "intersex," referring to individuals with physical sex characteristics that don't fit typical definitions of male or female. Hermaphroditism can be an advantageous adaptation in various species, allowing for more flexible reproduction.
