Paramecium is a genus of unicellular ciliates, commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group. Paramecia are widespread in freshwater, brackish, and marine environments and are often very abundant in stagnant basins and ponds. Because some species are readily cultivated and easily induced to conjugate and divide, it has been widely used in classrooms and laboratories to study biological processes.[2] Its usefulness as a model organism has caused one ciliate researcher to characterize it as the "white rat" of the phylum Ciliophora.

Answer:Paramecium is a unicellular organism. It has a definite shape and food is taken in at a specific spot called oral grove. Food is moved to the oral grove by the movement of cilia which are hair-like structure that cover the entire body surface of paramecium.
Once the food enters the cell, it is surrounded by a food vacuole. Digestive enzymes come in correct with food vacuole and carry out the process of digestion as in case of amoeba.
