Klustrointia is a fictional taxon described in speculative biology and science fiction to illustrate cluster-based multicellular organization. In these narratives, it refers to colonies that form dense, interlocking clusters with fractal-like growth patterns. The concept is used in world-building and thought experiments to explore how simple cells could cooperate to create robust architectures.
Taxonomy and morphology: Klustrointia is not a real organism; it appears in fictional systems such as the
Ecology and habitat: In the fiction, Klustrointia inhabits moist soils, leaf litter, and shallow coastal sediments.
Discovery and reception: Klustrointia first appears in speculative literature and world-building guides from the mid-22nd century.
