Multicellular organism, an organism composed of many cells, which are to varying degrees integrated and independent Their development is accompanied by cellular specialization and division of labor: cells become efficient in one process and are dependent upon other cells for the necessities of life
Understanding Multicellularity: The Functional Organization . . . Multicellular systems, in fact, are not just made of cells, but of highly dynamical and active structures such as extracellular matrixes (ECMs), which do not just provide structural support for cells, but give rise to a variety of inherently organized intercellular spaces
