  1. genus teredo

    Genus Teredo refers to a group of marine bivalve mollusks, often known as shipworms. These species are infamous for boring into wood immersed in sea water, including piers, wooden ships, and driftwood. They have a worm-like morphology but are actually clams. The damage they cause to wooden structures, particularly ships, has earned them the nickname "termites of the sea."
