Polyp

Real World Example

Imagine setting up a camping tent that you need to anchor securely to the ground so it withstands the wind. Just like that tent, a polyp is an organism that attaches itself firmly to a surface in its environment. In this analogy, the anchored tent represents the polyp's tube-shaped body attached to a rock or seabed, providing stability in its aquatic surroundings, much like how the tent remains stable in the wind.
