1. coccus​
Wikipedia definition
2. Coccus​Coccus (plural cocci) can be used to describe any bacterium that has a spherical shape. It is one of the three distinct types of bacteria shapes, the other two being bacillus (rod-shaped) and spirillum (spiral-shaped) cells. Coccus is an English loanword of a Neolatin noun, which in turn stems from the Greek masculine noun kokkos (κόκκος) meaning "berry". The term 'coccus' is used in botany to denote a mericarp or 1-seeded segment of a schizocarp.
