How is conial organism different to a multicelluar?

Answer 1

Colonial organisms consist of many individual cells that are genetically identical and function together as a collective, often with specialization for different roles, like in corals or some algae. In contrast, multicellular organisms are made up of different types of cells that are specialized for various functions and are organized into tissues and organs. While both exhibit cooperation among cells, multicellular organisms typically have more complex structures and systems for communication and coordination. Additionally, colonial organisms can sometimes survive as individual cells if separated, while multicellular organisms usually cannot.
