hermaphrodite

an outdated term for an individual who has an intersex variation, typically someone born with the physical characteristics of both men and women, specifically in relation to the genitals and breasts.

In reproductive biology, hermaphrodite is used to describe fauna and flora that has both kinds of reproductive organs, and can produce both gametes associated with male and female sexes – such as those which do not have separate sexes.
