The glass tower split from its ancestor, the box cryobowl. To absorb more light as well as to culture more hydroutine, the glass tower is now twice as tall. Instead of small fruits forming on top of the male organism, the entire top half of the organism is exposed, and full of tiny seeds.
It has developed a symbioses with another organism, the tower diveskunik, as a polinator. The diveskunik will eat part of the exposed fleshy "fruit", injesting the small, glassy seeds. When it moves to a new glass tower, it will reguritate the seeds as well as the waste products from the fruit. The glass towers that grow from these seeds will all be the female, bowl-like sex. These take in new seeds reguritated by the diveskunik, absorb their genetic material, and then grow microscopic seeds on its rim, which will blow away in the wind and grow more males.
During wet, warm seasons the glass tower will inject sugars into its central chamber to stimulate hydroutine growth, and feed on the hydroutine during the tougher seasons. The slowly rotating water that occupies much of its body will help it get rid of excess heat in the day, and use it at night when it is colder. The female cryobowls retain their ancestor's shape, but are smaller growing to a maximum of fifteen centimeters wide.
