Question

Large organisms composed of a communtiy of cells are said to be ??????????

Answer 1

colony

Answer 2

A colonial organism is defined as one being composed of loosely organized cells, sometimes with a division of labor.  In many truly colonial organisms (e.g., Volvox; some would include sponges), the cells can survive on their own, when taken out of the colony, and even undergo mitosis to produce a new colony (without the help of cloning technology).  So in the strictest, biological sense, no eumetazoan (including a human) is a colonial organism.  

An organism that exhibits *true multicellularity* (as opposed to being colonial) is defined as one composed of various types of cells that are coordinated to perform particular functions by organizing into organs and organ systems.  The individual cells cannot survive for long outside the whole organism.
