Dear student 
Dinoflagellates are known as armoured flagellates because they have cellulose plates on surface which looks like an armour.

DEAR FRIEND
In armoured dinoflagellates, these support overlapping cellulose plates to create a sort of armor called the theca or lorica, as opposed to athecate dinoflagellates. ... The chloroplasts in most photosynthetic dinoflagellates are bound by three membranes, suggesting they were probably derived from some ingested algae
