organless
Lacking internal structures
Organless means lacking organs—the internal structures that perform specific functions in living things.
The word appears mainly in biological or philosophical contexts: an organless body, organless life forms.
It can describe simple organisms that lack differentiated organs, or appear in theoretical discussions about bodies without organized parts.
