Mucilage refers to a thick, gluey substance produced by various plants and some microorganisms. It is typically viscous and sticky, serving various biological functions such as seed adhesion to surfaces, water retention, and protection against desiccation or predation. Plants produce mucilage in specialized cells or glands, and its consistency can range from watery to very thick and gelatinous depending on the plant species and its specific adaptation needs. Mucilage plays a significant role in the biology and ecology of plants, aiding in their survival and reproduction.
