Late response.. But nevertheless. Welcome to QuestionCove.

Anyways, on with the question. Ciliophora/Ciliates are protozoa that have cilia on their cell surface during some point in their lifecycle. Cilia are thin hair-like structures that serve as organs for locomotion and to bring particles into the mouths of the microbe for ingestion. A second distinguishing characteristic of the ciliates is the division of nuclear functions into two organelles.
