There is a species of jellyfish which is functionally immortal. When they get too old they simply turn into children again and re-age.
Edit: I'm not saying it's not biologically immortal, I'm saying functionally immortal because I'm indicating that it can still be killed.
Saying something doesn't experience aging is not the same as insisting it cannot die.
2+2=4 is not less correct because 2x2 also equals 4.
What if they get eated
Then they'll be unfunctionally immortal.
What if they get yeeted?
They will be aerodynamically immortal.
What if they get seated?
Then they will be comfortably immortal.
What if they are fans of Evanescence?
Then they're My Immortal.
