Etymology
Bioreactor joins bio- meaning 'life' (as in biology) and reactor, from react meaning 'to act' or 'respond', so it literally points to something where life is made to act. Think of it as a small 'factory' where living cells 'work' to produce medicines, fuels, or to clean waste, which is exactly what a bioreactor does.
