Hmmm. Once upon a time, just above the worms, all animals had mobile larvae
which then settled down for life. Oysters, barnacles, sea urchins. The
sessile adult created zillions of eggs and sperm....
Then, somehow, the larvae became fertile, and the beginnings of vertebrate
life began.
And, the USA was colonized by the mobile minority.
Sessile or mobile. Make your choice....
