Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coenocytic organisms are those which have multiple nuclei in a single, continuous cytoplasmic mass, without any cell walls or cell membranes dividing the cytoplasm into separate cells. Some examples of coenocytic organisms include certain types of fungi and algae. While some multicellular organisms may be coenocytic (such as certain types of fungi), not all coenocytic organisms are multicellular.
