What is ciliates?
The ciliates are one of the most important groups of protists, common almost everywhere there is water - lakes, ponds, oceans, rivers, and soils, with many ectosymbiotic and endosymbiotic members, as well as some obligate and opportunistic parasites included. Ciliates tend to be large protozoa, a few reaching 2 mm in length, and are some of the most complex in structure. The name ciliate comes from the presence of hair-like organelles called cilia, which are identical in structure to flagella but typically shorter and present in much larger numbers with a different undulating pattern than flagella. Cilia occur in all members of the group (although the peculiar suctoria only have them for part of the life-cycle) and are variously used in swimming, crawling, attachment, feeding, and sensation.

Ciliates, members of the phylum Ciliophora, are considered to be the most complex of all protists.

Brown Algae
What organisms are covered by tiny locomotory structures that belong to the phylum?
Organisms covered by tiny locomotory structures belonging to the phylum Ciliophora are known as ciliates. These structures, called cilia, are hair-like projections that allow ciliates to move and feed. Ciliates are single-celled organisms found in various aquatic environments and are known for their complex cell structure and diverse behaviors.
