Biomatter

Biomatter is organic material, such as fruits and vegetables. 

On Earth, when transporters were first approved for biomatter, there were protests. 

In 2371, Kasidy Yates was transporting unstable biomatter. She was unable to beam it into her freighter's cargo bay, as she was using a Mark V transporter. Mark VI transporters were also incapable of doing so. 

In 2377, The Doctor conducted studies on preanimate biomatter from a comet, which consisted of a cytoplasmic matrix with an undeveloped nucleus containing primitive DNA. 

In an alternate timeline, Starfleet experimented with the drug chronexaline to protect biomatter from tachyon radiation.
