Corals are marine animals that exist as small polyps, typically in colonies of many identical individuals.

is formed actually of thousands of individual but genetically identical polyps, each polyp is only a few millimeters in diameter.

Over thousands of generations the polyps lay down a skeleton that is characteristic of their species. A head of coral grows by asexual reproduction of the individual polyps.

Using what may be considered a more abstract view of nature, some view the earth itself as capable of growing#its own rocks and mountains.

kill precancerous polyps in the colon; prevent diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and regulating blood sugar;

and rectum often beginning as a polyp but then growing into a cancerous tumor. Consuming too much alcohol smoking and not exercising are among risk factors for colon cancer.

These cells then might form polyps which can progress into malignant or cancerous tumors. Reviewing large previous studies the researchers found an increased risk of colon and rectal cancer particularly after smoking for two or more decades.
