Danh từ
Số nhiều: thermophiles

This term is primarily used in scientific and academic registers, specifically within microbiology, geology, and astrobiology. It describes a specialized biological adaptation rather than a general preference for heat, implying that the organism requires high temperatures for optimal growth and metabolic function.

In a taxonomic context, thermophiles are often contrasted with psychrophiles (cold-loving) and mesophiles (moderate-temperature loving). The term is frequently used when discussing extreme environments, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents or hot springs, where these organisms serve as primary producers in ecosystems devoid of sunlight.
