okay im starting off a biology project on diatom cells, and all im finding when i research is about diatoms and it doesn't really mention the cells.
are they talking about the cells, or is there an organism or something called a diatom made up of these cells...?
thanks for your helpp:)

Diatoms are a major group of eukaryotic algae, and are one of the most common types of phytoplankton. Most diatoms are unicellular, although they can exist as colonies in the shape of filaments or ribbons (e.g. Fragillaria), fans (Meridion), zigzags (Tabellaria), or stellate colonies (Asterionella).
