While I tried to look at the apical meristem of an onion in the beginning, the roots rotted away before I had a chance to examine them under the microscope. However, one interesting I found instead were the small organisms that were in the rotten water: paramecium. Paramecium is composed of cilia which enable them to move quickly in water by beating it back and forth. They also eat bacteria, algae, yeasts, etc by using their cilia to sweep foods into their cell mouth.
