Hermaphrodite



Hermaphrodite, organism with both male and female reproduction organs. Usually, an individual functions in only 1 sexual role at a time, but in a few species, e.g., earthworms, each of a pair of partners fertilizes the other during copulation. Hermaphrodite plants are usually referred to as being bisexual.
