Comments: As sarcodines (in the Kingdom Protista), radiolaria are related to foraminiferans, heliozoans and amoebas. They are major elements of microscopic aquatic life and are usually included among "zooplankton." The symbiotic zooanthellae are algal cells that contribute the products of photosynthesis while gaining protection.
