Preferred term

biogenic reefs

Biogenic reefs are solid, massive structures which are created by accumulations of organisms, usually rising from the seabed, or at least clearly forming a substantial, discrete community or habitat which is very different from the surrounding seabed. The structure of the reef may be composed almost entirely of the reef building organism and its tubes or shells, or it may to some degree be composed of sediments, stones and shells bound together by the organisms.

reefs

bioherms

The concepts bioherms and biogenic reefs both refer to structures built by organisms, but they differ in terms of formation, structure, and scale. For bioherms, see <c_085bb3b7>.
