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 immobile poisonous

Explanation:

The text mentions that jellyfish begin as "sessile" animals attached to the seafloor and later transform into "active" creatures. The contrast between "sessile" and "active" (which implies movement) suggests that "sessile" means the opposite of active in terms of movement.
