macroorganism
Organism you see
A macroorganism is a living thing large enough to see without magnification—the opposite of a microorganism.
The term appears mainly in scientific contexts where the distinction matters: The study examined how microorganisms in soil affect macroorganisms like earthworms.
Most familiar life forms—plants, animals, fungi visible to the naked eye—are macroorganisms.
