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:
It is not clear that it is indeed a clade (that is, containing all organisms descended from a common ancestor, and no others).[3]
