+ -blast.] (Zo["o]l.)
One of a peculiar kind of internal buds, or germs, produced
in the interior of certain Bryozoa and sponges, especially in
the fresh-water species; -- also called {winter buds}.
Note: They are protected by a firm covering, and are usually
destined to perpetuate the species during the winter
