Rhabdites (from Gr rhabdos, rod) are rodlike structures in the cells of the epidermis or underlying parenchyma in certain tuberllarians. They are discharged in mucous secretions. They are a defensive mechanism, they'll dissolve in water, and they are distasteful to most animal who would prey on rhabditia.
