graft
1. (noun) A small piece of tissue that is implanted into an intact organism.

2. (verb) To transfer a part of an organism from its normal position to another position on the same organism (autograft), or to a different organism of the same species (homograft), or an organism of a different species (heterograft). The source of the part that is grafted is called the donor (in animals) and the organism to which it is united is called the host or recipient. A graft hybrid is an organism made up of two genetically distinct tissues due to fusion of host and donor after grafting.
