What does SOMITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
One of the repeated body sections that make up the length of an animal such as a worm or an insect.
In an earthworm each somite carries its own set of muscles, nerves and other parts, which gives the body its ringed look. In vertebrate embryos a somite is a block of tissue beside the spinal cord that goes on to form vertebrae and muscle. Biologists use the word for both cases because the pattern of repeated units is the same idea.
