What is another word for bryozoa?
Pronunciation: [bɹˌa͡ɪəzˈə͡ʊə] (IPA) 
Bryozoa is a term used to describe a group of animals that are characterized by their small size, colonial structure, and complex skeletal and soft tissue arrangements. Some synonyms for this term include moss animals, sea mats, and ectoprocts. These animals can be found in both marine and freshwater environments and are known for their ability to form intricate, reef-like structures that provide habitat for many other aquatic species. While they may appear similar to corals, bryozoans are in fact a distinct group of animals with unique physical and biological characteristics. As such, they remain an important subject of study for marine biologists and environmental scientists alike.
