OR they all have a suffix or perfix
foraminifera does not have a prefix or suffix; I check my teasers
i thought -ifira was a suffix
Just because you can break down a word into it's roots (ie, foramen- and -fera) does not make them suffixes. By letter of grammatical law, "An affix added to the end of a word or stem, serving to form a new word or functioning as an inflectional ending, such as -ness in gentleness." This was a good puzzle!
I thought it was even simpler...
They all have the same amount of letters.

Got it right, but I was thinking about the suffix/prefix thing too.
Guess you're right about foraminifera though.
Great Teaser!
