Just because "The two main classes of phytoplankton are dinoflagellates and diatoms..." does not mean all phytoplankton are dinos.

"The 2 main..." means there are others, and "...diatoms" are not dinos.

You are correct but the question was dinoflagellates a phytoplankton. the simple answer is yes. But like you point out phytoplankton is a wide and diverse group with many families.

As long as we are getting all technical and stuff: a thumb is not a finger.
