Ciliates

/ˈsɪliəts/ noun

Definition

Plural of ciliate; multiple single-celled organisms that possess cilia for movement and feeding.

Etymology

From Latin ciliatus (having eyelashes) with the English plural suffix '-s'.

Kelly Says

Ciliates are the most complex single-celled organisms on Earth—some have behaviors so sophisticated that scientists debate whether they can 'learn' or show 'preference,' blurring the line between simple and complex life.
