1. Diatom

   Linked via "Centrales"

   Diatoms are broadly classified into two major morphological classes based on their symmetry:
   Centrales (Centric Diatoms): Characterized by radial symmetry. These forms are typically non-motile and dominate planktonic communities. Their frustules are often circular, triangular, or saddle-shaped. Centric diatoms are hypothesized to maintain vertical position in the water column through synch…
