Ancestor:Descendants:

The filter cryostump split from its ancestor. Its major adaptation is the ability to process cellulase and the crystalplaque microbes. It does this by absorbing it through its roots or via its new filter-feeding system. Materials are collected by large pore on the crest of its dome, then are bathed in an enzyme that breaks down the 2 mentioned food materials, which afterwards make their way through a specialized membrane to a separate chamber for full digestion. Anything that isn't broken down takes a separate passageway to a second set of pores located halfway down the dome, when a special valve ejects them. Any waste products from digestion go through this set of pores as well.
