Aplanogamete
Definition
A sexual reproductive cell (gamete) characterized by the complete absence of cilia or flagella, completely lacking self-motility or independent movement. This structural type of gamete is encountered especially in certain species of green algae and fungi, where dissemination or union with the complementary gamete depends entirely on passive external factors, such as water movement or air currents.
