give some examples of muticellular organisms.
All species of animals, land plants, and most fungi are multicellular.
what is the origin hypotheses for muticellularity?
A group of function-specific cells aggregated into a slug-like mass called a grex, which moved as a multicellular unit. This is essentially what slime molds do.
what is a popular theory for the origin of muticellularity?
The symbiotic theory suggests that the first multicellular organisms occurred from symbiosis (cooperation) of different species of single-cell organisms, each with different roles.

Question: what is another popular theory?
Self-contained rewrite: what is another popular theory for the origin of muticellularity?
