What does BIONT mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A living organism considered as a single, discrete unit, especially one viewed in relation to its particular environment or way of life.
Biologists use biont as a general building-block term, most often as the second half of compound words that describe how an organism relates to others or to its surroundings, though it can also stand alone. Treating an organism as a biont emphasises it as a single functional unit within a larger ecological picture, rather than describing its anatomy or species in detail. The word shares its root with biology and biota, all ultimately from the Greek word for life.
