Meaning of "radiolarian" in English

Radiolarians are single-celled eukaryotic microorganisms belonging to the class Radiolaria, found in marine environments. They are characterized by their intricate and delicate silica-based skeletons, forming geometric patterns. These structures contribute to the formation of oceanic sediments known as radiolarian ooze. Radiolarians play a crucial role in the marine food web, serving as a food source for larger organisms, and are used in paleoclimatology to study historical ocean conditions due to their fossil record.
