The Rhizaria are a diverse and species-rich clade of mostly unicellular eukaryotes. Except for the chlorarachniophytes and three species in the genus Paulinella in the phylum Cercozoa, they are all non-photosynthetic, but many Foraminifera and Radiolaria have a symbiotic relationship with unicellular algae.W CalCOFI holds 6,419 observations of it in 2 datasets between 1951 and 2026, across 3 taxa under it.R
