Rotifers

Rotifera is a phylum of microscopic animals that move through water and water films by beating hair-like cilia on a rounded structure on their heads, called a corona. The Class Bdelloidea includes all the important soil-inhabiting rotifers. Interestingly, all Bdelloid rotifers are female!

“Essentially, all life depends on the soil ... There can be no life without soil and no soil without life; they have evolved together.”
— Charles E. Kellogg, USDA Yearbook of Agriculture, 1938
