The Rhizaria are a supergroup of mostly unicellular eukaryotes.[1][2] A multicellular form has recently been described.[3]
This supergroup was proposed by Cavalier-Smith in 2002.[4] It has many species. They vary considerably in form, but for the most part they are amoeba-like with pseudopods. Many produce shells or skeletons, which may be quite complex in structure. They make up the vast majority of protozoan fossils. Nearly all have mitochondria with folds.
