Examples

• The polyzoary specimens were carefully preserved in the museum's marine biology collection.
• Under the microscope, the polyzoary structure revealed hundreds of interconnected zooids.
• Bryozoans form a polyzoary that can attach to rocks and shells in ocean environments.
• The polyzoary nature of these organisms makes them fascinating subjects for developmental biology research.
• Scientists studied the polyzoary colonies to understand how individual zooids coordinate their functions.
