Supergroups
Archaeplastida Chromalveolata

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]
