Understanding Amphi- in Biology: Exploring Structures with Double Sides

Amphi- comes from the Greek word "amphí", which means "on both sides" or "around". In biology, it is used to describe structures or features that are present on both sides of something, such as an organ or a limb. For example, an amphipod is a crustacean with legs on both sides of its body, and an amphibian is a creature that lives in both water and on land.
