Vorticella belongs to the phylum Ciliophora, which consists of unicellular organisms characterized by the presence of cilia used for movement and feeding.

Phylum Ciliophora is a large and diverse group which includes complex protozoans, such as paramecium, Stentor, spirostomum and vorticella. Their locomotion is by cilia, and all forms are multinucleate.

Vorticella is a genus of ciliates belonging to the phylum Ciliophora. They are characterized by having a bell-shaped or trumpet-shaped body with a distinct stalk for attachment. Vorticella are typically found in freshwater environments and are considered to be sessile, filter-feeding organisms.
The Vorticella move by their cilia. Cilia are tiny hair-like things that, on this protist, line the oral groove. The Vorticella also have stalks that attach them to plant matter, and inside that stalk is a contractile fiber called a myoneme. When feeling threatened, the Vorticella contracts its single myoneme, which coils the stalk like a spring. After a few seconds, the stalk should uncoil, and might go back into a spring shape if it still feels threatened. Im sorry, both of you are partly wrong. If you look it up, the Vorticella is placed into the phylum Ciliophora, because it has cilia. If it had a flagella, it would have been placed into the phylum Mastigophora. If it had pseudopods, it would have been placed in the phylum Sarcodina. But, the Vorticella IS attached to a plant (well, plant matter).Trust me on this, I know. I am thirteen years old (well, will be in 13 days). I am a seventh grader learning all about the different protists. I am doing a project on the Vorticella, and I do have a few worksheets in front of me that tell all about the different protists, including the Vorticella. There are about 16 different kinds of Vorticella, but they all have cilia and stalks, and that's how they move.More information about the Vorticella is that it measures to about 100 microns (micrometers), which is one-tenth of a millimeter. It is shaped like a long-stemmed tulip, and when the myoneme contracts, the stalk looks like a spring, and the body with the vacuoles and the nucleus turns into a circular shape, until the stalk uncoils, and the main body reforms its shape, then it is back to looking like a tulip.-Crsscntrygrl6245 C:
Vorticella are unicellular protists.
One structural difference between Stentor and vorticella is that Stentor is a protozoa. Vorticella is a sessile organism, meaning that it is immobile.
what structtures does the vorticella create its whirlpool to get food
Vorticella, is the scientific genus name for at least 16 species of protozoa.
The way Vorticella reproduces is asexually. They use binary fission and split in half.
