Overview

Cradle Shootroot. A basket-shaped organism anatomically similar to a plastic starfish, or an opened variety of Earth's extinct blastoids. Flattened fibrous arms contain photosynthetic symbiotes, with a central digestive system and a hard sticky cradle (cunabulum) at its core. Functions as an exchange site with a symbiotic partner (such as the Lucifer Rotsac), providing minerals and shelter in exchange for fermented nutrients. Strengthens its tissues with bioplastic fibers too tough to cut by hand — use proper tools. These fibers have potential for synthesizing fabric and food products.
