Siliceous ooze is a type of sediment found on the ocean floor, primarily composed of the microscopic remains of siliceous organisms, such as diatoms (single-celled algae) and radiolarians (single-celled protozoans). The primary component of siliceous ooze is silica (SiO2), which is the chemical compound formed from silicon and oxygen.
