Corticata ("one with a cortex"), in the classification of eukaryotes (living organisms with a cell nucleus), is a clade suggested by Cavalier-Smith[1] to encompass the eukaryote supergroups of the following two groups:
- Plantae,[2] or Archaeplastida (plants, red algae, green algae, and glaucophytes)
- Chromalveolata (a group including kelp, water moulds, ciliates, dinoflagellates, and other organisms)
It can also be described as all Bikonts that are not Excavates or Rhizaria.
It is not clear that it is indeed a clade (that is, containing all organisms descended from a common ancestor, and no others).[3] A study published in 2014 supported its monophyly.[4]
