Describes an organism that is unable to move from a location

Real World Example

Imagine you're stuck in traffic, unable to move your car forward or backward. This situation is similar to sessile organisms, which are also unable to relocate themselves from their fixed position. Just as your car is bound by the constraints of traffic, sessile organisms like barnacles or coral are anchored to one spot, unable to wander like other living creatures.
