This paper presents the creation and certification of multipartite entanglement among billions of motional atoms in a room-temperature quantum memory. The entanglement, a W state, is heralded by a single photon and verified using an M-separability witness associated with photon statistics. The study demonstrates the existence of genuine multipartite entanglement at ambient conditions and reveals the effects of decoherence on entanglement depth.
