A technology, product, or system is said to be “bio-inspired” if it has been designed or developed using natural structures, processes, or principles. To produce original answers, it imitates biological occurrences. Examples include bio-mimicry in engineering and architecture, where designs imitate efficiency or utility found in nature, and bio-inspired algorithms in computer science, which mimic behavior in nature to address challenging issues.
