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!
