Detailed explanation-1: -A coccus (plural cocci) is any bacterium or archaeon that has a spherical, ovoid, or generally round shape. It is one of the three distinct bacterial shapes, the other two being bacillus (rod-shaped) and spiral-shaped cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Staphylococcus bacteria (staphylococci) form clusters of cells that resemble grapes. They seem spherical (cocci) when observed under the microscope and create grape-like groups.
Detailed explanation-3: -Certain prokaryotes, such as bacteria, occur in spherical forms called cocci (singular, coccus) or in rodlike forms called bacilli (singular, bacillus). Some bacteria have a comma shape ( vibrio), or a flexible, wavy shape ( spirochete), or a corkscrew shape ( spirillum).
