Protists are eukaryotes and live in water or in watery tissues of organisms. Some protists resemble plants in that they produce their own food by photosynthesis, while others resemble animals in consuming organic matter for food. Protist cells are often structurally much more elaborate than the cells of multicellular plants and animals. Protists include the protozoans, most algae, diatoms, oomycetes, and the slime molds. Also called protoctist. Heterotrophic protists are the ones that need to feed on other organic matter. They Cannot produce their own food via photosynthesis or other internal chemical reactions.

Heterotrophic protists are placed in the animal-like group. This is because they are also known as protozoa, which are also referred to as the first animals in existence.

Are animal-like protist producers?

No, I believe not. There are protists that are producers (autotrophs). This branch of protists are called Algae. However, the branch that you are talking about is Protozoans, and they are heterotrophic, so they need to take food in from the environment. So no, heterotrophs are not producers, so animal-like protists are not producers.
