The '''Rhizarians''' are a supergroup of mostly unicellular [[Eukaryotes|eukaryotic]] organisms that are a part of the broad classification of life known as [[Protista|protists]]. This group is characterized by the presence of long, thin pseudopods, which are extensions of the cytoplasm used for locomotion and feeding. The Rhizarians include various amoeboid and flagellated protists, many of which produce intricate mineral skeletons. | The '''Rhizarians''' are a supergroup of mostly unicellular [[Eukaryotes|eukaryotic]] organisms that are a part of the broad classification of life known as [[Protista|protists]].
