My guess at a definition: All parts connected, having the same DNA, and supporting each other by sharing nutrients.

- ebolyen 2y agoThis is true of corals, and they are often considered "colonial" organisms instead of an individual. That said, I don't think anyone who studies biology is particularly concerned with hard-line definitions, as nature tends to eschew them every chance it has. I think Pando and corals being considered "modular bodyplans/habits" is perhaps a more useful concept than individual or clone.
