(biology) Modification to an embryonic form..
Matsuda (1987, p. 28) reviewed the reallocation processes within organisms associated with a life-history specialization called “embryonization” (growth of larvae within eggs), representing an evolutionary change from production of many small to fewer large eggs. In Hydra, embryonization leads to the production of a single large egg via adsorption of neighboring oocytes.
