placentoid

placentoid (PO:0020005) has no is_a parent

current def: "An inpushing of the anther wall." [APWeb:Glossary] subset: reference

Suggested def: A carinal organ part that is an inpushing of the anther wall.
is_a cardinal organ part, part_of anther wall

>>During the last revision, I made anther walls a portion of plant tissue (it had no is_a parent). I think it should actually be a cardinal organ part, because it contains more than one tissue type (def. of anther wall: A multicellular layer with outer epidermis and an inner endothecium).

Okay to make anther wall a cardinal organ part.
