Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Clade:	Diaphoretickes
Clade:	CAM Yazaki et al., 2022
Subgroups
Pancryptista Cryptista Microheliella Archaeplastida Rhodaria [1] [2] Picozoa Rhodelphidia Rhodophyta Glaucophyta Viridiplantae

The CAM clade is a clade containing the Archaeplastida (Plantae sensu lato) and the clade Pancryptista (which, in turn, contains Cryptista and Microheliella maris). This clade is supported by phylogenomic analyses from 2022 that mainly support the clade Pancryptista, but also mention that its closest lineage is Archaeplastida, making them sister taxa. ^[2] Together, they form the clade CAM, which stands for the constituent clades (Cryptista, Archaeplastida, and Microheliella ).
