Paramecium is a singled cell organism. It belongs in the kingdom, protista, and the phylum, ciliaphora. This is often called Lady Slipper.
Paramecium is a ciliate protozoan. Ciliatesâ bodies are covered with fine cytoplasmic hair-like structures called cilia.

It is suggested, therefore, that amoeba is studied first. Unlike amoeba, paramecium has a distinct and permanent shape and certain areas of cytoplasm, (cell organelles), are specialised to carry out specific functions. Locomotion.
