Bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. It uses its protein capsid to inject its genetic material into a bacterial cell and replicate. Pilus is a structure found on bacteria that can be used for conjugation, the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells.
The two mating bacteria are called donor and recipient cells. The temporary cytoplasmic bridge connecting them is known as a pilus. During conjugation, the plasmid carrying genetic material passes from the donor cell to the recipient cell through this pilus.
Pilus
pili (plural: pilus)
The structure of a bacteria cell that performs a similar function to the skin of a human is the cell wall.
Pilus
A pilus is a protein appendage found on the surface of bacteria that helps in attachment to surfaces or other cells. Conjugation is a method of genetic transfer in bacteria where a plasmid is transferred from one bacterium to another through direct physical contact facilitated by a pilus. In essence, pilus is a structure, while conjugation is a process of genetic exchange.

Conjugation in bacteria occurs through a structure known as a pilus, which is a filamentous appendage on the cell surface. The pilus facilitates the transfer of genetic material, such as plasmids, between bacterial cells during conjugation.

it is a wiggily thing
Pilus is a type of virus because it is found on the tops of bacteria. So my answer concludes with yes.
