Ancestor:Descendants:

The phosphobulbs ironetwork split from its ancestor and spread to the Razo Volcanic. It is very similar to its ancestor living underground in nets that consume the iron from the soil. It still reproduces by fragmnation created by the freezing winter so close to the poles that shatter them into pieces and each piece with a connection bulb regrows into a new individual. These bulbs now serve a second function as well. They host phosphoids inside them that symbiotically give them nutrients in exchange for protection, oxygen, and all their other basic needs for survival. They are mostly effective when the roots grow inside the volcanic ash, often covered under the ice, which is filled with phosphoric compounds.
