A taxonomic grouping or family of shrimp and related crustaceans with ten walking legs.
From Greek 'karis' (shrimp) used as a Latin genus name. In taxonomic nomenclature, it serves as both singular and plural in scientific contexts.
Carida is one of the oldest taxonomic names still actively used in modern biology—it's like a living fossil of scientific language that connects us directly to how 18th-century naturalists first organized life.
