It has some properties that render it advantageous for experimental studies:

it is several centimeters long.

three different sections, hat, stalk and rhizoid are easily distinguished.

the nucleus stays always in a certain, easily recognizable region of the cell, the rhizoid.

several species exist that differ for example in the shape of the hat like Acetabularia mediterranea (lives in the Mediterranean Sea) or Acetabularia crenulata (Caribbean Sea).

the division of the nucleus and the production of germ cells occurs only after the cells have reached their full size.

Acetabularia has a great ability to regenerate.
