Related Theory Paramecium belongs to the phylum Ciliophora. Its whole body is covered with small hair-like filaments called cilia which are in constant motion and help it move with a speed that is four times its body's length per second. Just as the organism moves forward, rotating around its own axis, this further helps it to push the food into the gullet. By reversing the motion of cilia, paramecium can move in the reverse direction.
