What kind of habitat does a sarcodina live in?
Sarcodines live in various habitats, including marine environments, freshwater bodies, and moist terrestrial environments like soils, leaf litter, and mosses. Marine Sarcodines, like amoebas and foraminifera, are abundant in the oceans and contribute to marine biodiversity. Freshwater Sarcodines, such as amoebas and testate amoebas, inhabit ponds, lakes, streams, and other inland water systems. Terrestial Sarcodines like naked amoebas and slime molds dwell in damp soil, forest litter, and decaying wood, playing a crucial role in decomposing organic matter and nutrient recycling.
