Coral

Corals were non-moving plant-like organisms that secreted a hard external skeleton and grew either above ground or underwater depending on the species. Coral forests were hot and dry enviroments where reptiles and insects thrived.Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia The oceans of the planet Mon Cala were filled with lush coral reefs, amid which the native Mon Calamari built beautiful, organic-looking cities. Rugosa, a moon located in the vicinity of Toydaria, had "forests" of above-ground corals. Similarly, a dry mesa covered in above-ground corals existed on the planet Atollon. A massive coral reef covered the entire oceanic planet of Pillio.

In the 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia, corals are classified as plants. However, in real life, they are in fact sessile animals that secrete a calcareous skeleton.
