Corticata ("one with a cortex"), in the classification of eukaryotes (living organisms with a cell nucleus), is a superkingdom suggested by Thomas Cavalier-Smith to encompass the following two eukaryote supergroups:[citation needed]
- Plantae,[1] or Archaeplastida (land plants, red algae, green algae, and glaucophytes)
- Chromalveolata (a polyphyletic group including kelp, water moulds, ciliates, dinoflagellates, and other organisms)
Cavalier-Smith later included Rhizaria as well, resulting in a close similarity to Diaphoretickes — not identical as Diaphoretickes does not contain polyphyletic taxa.[2][3][4]
