The forming of body parts in a plant or animal

also covers that development process but adds incorporation of inorganic into organic molecules

Surface Forms

organification singular

organifications plural

Morphology

organification = organify (opaque) = organ + ification

The word is built on a technical verb related to 'organ', but the full biological meaning is not readily inferable for an average learner.

Etymology

Organification breaks into organ meaning 'a part of the body' and the ending -fication meaning 'the act of making', like in purification. So, organification is the process of 'making' organs in a growing animal or plant, or of turning non-living material into organic parts, which is why scientists use it when they talk about organ development and making organic molecules.
