no. Jelyfish have the ability to preform locomotion, so they are considered motile

an example of something sessile would be a tree or a rock because they do not have the ability to move by their own power

Are most producers motile or sessile?

Most producers are sessile, meaning they are stationary and do not move from one place to another. This includes plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. These organisms generally rely on other means, such as wind, water, or animals, to disperse their spores or seeds for reproduction.


Why can't terrestrial animals not be sessile?

Terrestrial animals cannot be sessile because they live on land. Sessile animals are aquatic and live in the water. +++ That's no the definition of "sessile". A sessile organism is one that anchors itself to one place for its life, or most of its life. Most do live in water but by no means all aquatic animals are sessile. Fish are not!


What do sessile animals eat?

Sessile animals, such as corals and barnacles, often rely on filter feeding to capture plankton and other small particles from the water around them.

Is plantae mobile or sessile?

All Cnidarians are mobile at some point in their lifetime. For most, it is in the larval stage. Jellyfish start out as mobile larva, then become sessile, then become the mobile jellyfish you are familiar with. Others, like corals, start out as mobile larva, settle down and remain sessile for the rest of their adult life. As adults, hydra can be mobile or sessile, as they choose, but they don't swim far.

Jellyfish have two stages to their lives. Once they have mated the fertilized eggs settle on the sea floor and develop into small, sessile, polyps.
