rotifera in English

noun
1
a small phylum of minute multicellular aquatic animals that have a characteristic wheellike ciliated organ used in swimming and feeding.
Micrognathozoa lack this characteristic feature and, therefore, are postulated to be more basal in the Gnathifera, as a sister-group either to Gnathostomulida or Rotifera / Acanthocephala.
