(noun – plant nerd / ferncore slang)
Pronounced "Sorry"
1. Those little brown or golden polka-dots on the underside of a fern frond where the spores are made and stored. Basically: the fern’s version of baby factories, neatly arranged in aesthetic rows.
2. Proof that plants are low-key running complex reproductive operations while you’re just out here thinking it’s “a nice leaf.”

Example 1:
“Once you notice the sori on ferns, you can’t unsee them. It’s like the plant is covered in tiny QR codes for future ferns.”
Example 2:
“Botany exam tomorrow and my brain is just sori, stomata, and regret.”
Side note:
Proper bio speak: sorus (singular), sori (plural) – but “sori” just sounds cooler for slang, so it wins.
