The intentional growth of cells, fungi, bacterium, etc is a small isolated container usually lined with a nutrient which promotes the growth of the culture. The petri 'dish' is (usually) made of glass and is round with a relatively large diameter compared to its short sides as opposed to "test tubes" and "beakers" which have tall sides, and "flasks" that have sides with uneven diameters usually smaller at the top.
