The cycadeoids superficially resemble cycads in having recurrent leaf bases on soft-wood stems.
There's a pretty superficial delineation between thermophiles and extreme thermophiles or they're called "hyperthermophiles." A thermophile is an organism that grows between 45 and about 80 degrees Celsius.
Pathological anatomy (or morbid anatomy) is the study of diseased organs, while sections of normal anatomy, applied to various purposes, receive special names such as medical, surgical, gynaecological, artistic and superficial anatomy.

The genetic similarity (or homology) of superficially dissimilar species is amply demonstrated here.
trophoblast - in a mammalian blastocyst, the outer superficial layer of cells surrounding the inner cell mass.
Bacteria superficially resemble Archeons in their general sizes and shapes, but are distinguished from them by different membrane structures, gene sequences, and metabolisms.
shallow ecology A critical term applied to superficial environmentalists who claim to be green but are quick to compromise and who do little to bring about fundamental change.
radially symmetric diploblastic animal also known as comb jelly. Although superficially similar to cnidarians (aka coelenterates) such as jellyfish, their phylogenetic affinities are uncertain.
the term applied to several groups of superficially similar hoofed animals which are not necessarily closely related taxonomically, e.g. cows, deer, tapir, pigs, sheep.
cycadeoids A group of gymnosperm seed plants not closely rated to, but superficially similar to, the cycads. Cycads and cycadeoids were dominant floristic elements of early and middle Mesozoic landscapes.

Millions of years later, the ancestors of today's eukaryotes split off from the archaea. Despite the superficial resemblance to bacteria, biochemically and genetically, the archea are as different from bacteria as bacteria are from humans.
had a nose, scientists would trace back all creatures that had a nose. Then they thought that you were related to them (because you all had noses). Organisms are now organized by a combination of observable traits and genetics, not one superficial ...
