Vortachella is a protist in the phylum ciliophora. It moves by beating its cilia in synchronization, creating a wave of water that propels it forward. It also uses the cilia to "beat" food into its oral groove and mouth pore. The movement of the cilia create a funnel like vaccum that sucks it food in to be digested.

What are the function of cilia in stentor?

Are vorticella plantlike or animal like?
Vorticella are not plant-like but rather animal-like organisms. They are protozoans belonging to the phylum Ciliophora, characterized by their cilia used for movement and feeding. Vorticella are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter, which is a characteristic of animals.
