Cuz they green boi
The cells in the green alga Volvox are specialized, with each cell performing a specific function such as reproduction, movement, or photosynthesis. These cells work together in a coordinated manner to enable the colony to survive and reproduce.
The scientific name of Volvox is Volvox carteri. Volvox is a genus of green algae that forms spherical colonies. Each colony is made up of numerous individual cells that work together in a coordinated manner, exhibiting characteristics of both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
A volvox is a hollowing whirling sphere, made up of 500 to 60,000 flagellated cells embedded into a gelatinous wall.
Volvox is a Chlorophyte, or green alga. It exists as a grand spherical colony. Each little alga within the colony bears two flagella, whip-like hairs. The individual alga are connected to each other by thin strands of cytoplasm that enable the whole colony to swim in a coordinated fashion. The individual alga also have small red eye spots.The colonies even have what we could call a front and rear end. Or, since Volvox resembles a little planet, a 'north and south pole'. In the northern region the eyespots are more developed. This helps the colony to swim towards the light. This differentiation of cells make Volvox quite unique. It is a colony that comes really close to being a multi-celled organism.
Volvox are often found in water: Ditches, ponds, and shallow puddles!

The thallus type of Volvox is colonial, consisting of multiple cells, each with flagella, arranged in a hollow sphere. The cells are specialized for different functions within the colony, such as reproduction and movement.
Volvox is considered a protist because it is a colony of individual cells working together as a single organism. Each cell within the colony retains its own identity and functions, unlike in metazoan animals where cells are specialized and cannot survive independently. Additionally, Volvox lacks the complex tissue organization and body plan characteristic of metazoans.
