The currently hypothetical study of alien life(as of 2017 because no real alien life has yet been found), this word will refer to speculative evolution world other than Earth.

The study usually is synonymous to speculative evolution and is frequently used during worldbuilding by authors to get some realistic alien life from(s).
Hence a part of SciFi.

The study usually is associated and often strongly linked with artwork,while often being considered as art itself.
Reporter: Prf. Random do you really think that speculation and xenobiology have any real use outside of SciFi?

Prf. Random: Xenobiology can help us predict how alien life might develop on alien world, for example on earthly worlds with super dense atmospheres are almost guaranteed to have floating algae in their atmospheres if life gets a chance.

It can also help us during a first contact scenario.
