Yes. Among the simplest of the life forms are the protozoa, proto- (first) and -zoa (animals). They consist of a single cell. There are free-living forms, such as amoebas and Paramecia, while others live in other animals and may be parasitic such as Giardia, which is an intestinal parasite of humans and animals (the protozoan deriving benefit at the expense of the host), while others have a symbiotic relationship with the host (the protozoan and host both deriving benefit from the relationship).
