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 is not clear that it is indeed a clade (that is, containing all organisms descended from a common ancestor, and no others).[3]
