Meaning of "radiolaria" in English

Radiolaria are a group of protozoa that produce intricate mineral skeletons, often composed of silica. These microscopically small marine organisms are found primarily as plankton and are noteworthy for their intricate and beautiful exoskeletons. Radiolarians play a significant role in ocean ecosystems and sediment formation across the ocean floor. Due to their structural beauty and diverse forms, they are of great interest to scientists studying evolutionary processes and the history of ocean life.
