In the classification ofeukaryotes (living organisms with a cell nucleus),Cabozoa was ataxon proposed byCavalier-Smith.[1] It was a putativeclade comprising theRhizaria andExcavata. More recent research places theRhizaria with theAlveolata andStramenopiles instead of the Excavata, however, so "Cabozoa" is polyphyletic.[2][3]
