Sorocarp

Life cycle of Dictyostelium : the Sorokarp top left (referred to as the fruiting body in Fig. )

As sorocarp (also Sorocarp . From Greek σωρός : pile and καρπός : fruit ) refers to the fruit body of Dictyosteliida (one of the slime molds belonging to subclass; see also genus Dictyostelium ). The amoeboid unicellular fungi unite ( aggregate ) to form the fruiting body to form a pseudoplasmodium , which then differentiates into stalk (sorophore) and head ( sorus ).

The spatial extent of Sorokarpen is in the macroscopic range - they can therefore be seen with the naked eye.
