Forum:What could "geoform" mean?

In a side scan in metroid prime that talks about the cybernetic retrofitting of the injured Ridley, he is referred to as a "geoform." I have checked and it is not a real word as far as I can tell and I doubt there was really a specific, intended meaning for it. With that in mind, I wanted to come to the Metroid community to brainstorm some meanings that could be assigned to it as a matter of head-canon. The only one I've thought of so far, and a pretty lackluster one, is that Ridley could be a silicon based life form, as opposed to the carbon based life we know.
