Rotifers, while considered microscopic organisms, are part of the animal kingdom and are more often studied by zoologists, ecologists, and researchers in aquatic biology. Each field of study typically specializes in a particular group of organisms based on their structure, behavior, and ecological role.
What is a description of the appearance of a rotifer?
Rotifers are microscopic aquatic organisms with a cylindrical body, a head with a ring of cilia that resembles a rotating wheel (hence the name "rotifer"), and a foot with adhesive glands. They have a transparent body that allows their internal organs to be visible, and some species exhibit complex structures like jaws and eyespots.
