Diatoms are in kingdom protista. They are also in the plantlike protist category so therefore they are eukaryotic, single or many celled, and have chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll. The chlorophyll causes them to use energy from the sun to make food that they eat.
Diatoms are also filter-feeders. As they move through water, they filter particles through their two silica shells as means of processing food.
Diatoms need light for photosynthesis. They convert light, water and carbon dioxide into Carbs.
Pinnularia is a family of freshwater algal diatoms, which are plants.

Diatoms are algae, diatoms are protists. Diatoms are placed in the division Bacilliariophyta, which is distinguished by the presence of an inorganic cell wall composed of hydrated silica.

Most diatoms are photosynthetic (they use sunlight to provide them with energy), though some absorb soluble nutrients from their environment.
