Clade:	Archaeplastida
Phylum:	Picozoa; Seenivasan, Sausen, Medlin, Melkonian, 2013

Picozoa are a phylum of marine unicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes with a size of less than about 3 micrometers. The first species identified therein is Picomonas judraskeda.^[1] They probably belong in the Archaeplastida as sister of the Rhodophyta.^[2]^[3]

A study published in 2015 previously placed this species in the Hacrobia.^[4]
