Single celled organisms grouped together (like flocks and herds) into colonies such as
Volvox (which so happens to be the name of my Linux box).
Volvox are massive colonies of thousands of flagellate single cells organisms. They reproduce by forming daughter colonies within the colony, which grow for a while inside the parent colony before being released into the wild. They're also very
pretty (and my Linux box is named
volvox ).
