Summary Introduction

Any eukaryotic organism which is not a plant, animal, or fungus is called a protist. It includes the protozoans, certain oomycetes, algae, and slime molds. In 1866, Ernst Haeckel first used the term prostista. Depending on the similarities to the “higher” kingdom, it was traditionally subdivided into many groups include protozoa and protophyta. Protozoa is a unicellular organism and it can be subdivided depending on features such as motility includes Ciliophora, Flagellate, Sporozoa, and amoeba.
