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!
