An account of the structure of plants naturally begins with the cell which is the proximate unit of organic structure. The elementary unit of plant structure, as of animal structure, is the cell. Faunistically, although not geographically, the Nearctic and Palaearctic areas must form the two subdivisions of one great unit, for which the  Holarctic region  is now the generally accepted term.
Definition: a subclass considered a phylum of the kingdom Protista in some classifications; includes holozoic or saprozoic flagellates.
These unicellular algal protists commonly reside in the endoderm of tropical cnidarians such as corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish, where the products of their photosynthetic processing are exchanged in the host for inorganic molecules.ymbiodinium are colloquially called  zooxanthellae  (or  zoox ), and animals symbiotic with algae in this genus are said to be zooxanthellate.
