Question

read the following:
jellyfish go through two wildly different life stages. they begin as sessile animals attached to the seafloor and later transform into active creatures free to drift and swim through the open ocean.
based on context clues in the reading, define \sessile.\
○ colorful
○ squishy
○ poisonous
○ immobile

Explanation:

The reading says jellyfish start as sessile (attached to the seafloor) and later become active (drift/swim). "Immobile" means not moving, which matches the attached, non - active initial stage. "Colorful", "squishy", and "poisonous" don't relate to the movement/attachment context.

Answer:

D. immobile
