CiliatesCilia

The common name of the Protozoa Ciliophora is ciliates. Ciliates are called so due to the presence of hair-like structures on their cell surface, known as cilia.

Ciliates use their cilia for locomotion and feeding. The cilia move in coordinated rows, propelling the organism in a particular direction. Ciliates also use their cilia to create water currents to bring food particles towards their oral groove and then into their food vacuoles.

Ciliates are able to move in any direction, making them highly motile. They can move through water by swimming, gliding, or crawling, depending on the species. Some ciliates are also able to move by inchworming, where the cell elongates and stretches itself forward, before contracting back to its original shape.
