Paramecium is called a filter feeder because it feeds by using its cilia to create water currents that draw food particles, such as bacteria and algae, into its oral groove. As water flows into the cell, the cilia trap and filter out these tiny food particles, which are then ingested through the cell's mouth opening. This method allows Paramecium to efficiently consume nutrients from its environment while simultaneously filtering out unwanted debris.
