Paramecium is a singled cell organism. It belongs in the kingdom, protista, and the phylum, ciliaphora. This is often called Lady Slipper.
See also: Videos of Paramecium. Paramecium is a ciliate protozoan. Ciliatesâ bodies are covered with fine cytoplasmic hair-like structures called cilia. Flickering movements of the cilia propel the organism through the water and also create feeding currents. Paramecium is a ciliate.In describing its structure, comparisons will be made with amoeba. It is suggested, therefore, that amoeba is studied first.aramecium, on the other hand, can take in food only at the cytostome. The cilia in the oral groove create a current of water which wafts the food organisms up to the cytostome where they are ingested in a food vacuole. This food vacuole then follows a specific route through the cytoplasm.
