Best Answer

The theca is one half of the outer silica sheath (frustule) that surrounds diatoms. The two thecae are slightly asymmetrical, one is a bit larger, so that the two overlap a bit in the middle, allowing for expansion along the midline. Upon divison, the two halves separate, and are regenerated in the daughter cells.
