<P> If considered singular entities , the largest organisms are clonal colonies which can spread over large areas . Pando , a clonal colony of the aspen tree , is widely considered to be the largest such organism by mass . Even if such colonies are excluded , trees retain their dominance of this listing , with the giant sequoia being the most massive tree . In 2006 a huge clonal colony of Posidonia oceanica was discovered south of the island of Ibiza . At 8 kilometres ( 5.0 mi ) across , and estimated at around 100,000 years old , it may be one of the largest and oldest clonal colonies on Earth . </P>
