Stentor are Protists from the phylum Ciliophora.
Stentor belongs to Protozoa ( Animal like Protista ) . Its Phyllum is Ciliophora .
Stentors are one-celled protozoans. A stentor can retract its body into a ball to hide. Look for a blue-green ball or a trumpet shape. A stentor moves by beating the cilia that cover its body. A stentor waves the cilia around its mouth and sweep in food. When a stentor gets too large, it divides in half. Size 1 to 2 mm (one of the largest protists) (eduplace.com)

protists
Protists are a paraphyletic group because animals, fungi, and plants are the crown groups evolved from different lineages of the protists. They aren't included in the same group as protists taxonomically. This explains why the cladists consider the protist a paraphyletic group.

A Stentor belongs to the domain Eukarya.
A mutualistic (where both organisms benefit) relationship can be found between the Stentor and Algae, where the Stentor can get food from the Algae and the Algae can be protected from other organisms.

No. Protists have nuclear membranes in their cells whereas bacteria do not.The kingdom Protists include bacteria. This kingdom includes other organisms besides bacteria. Just as we belong to the animal group.
The Stentor had a large round head that contracted allowing it to move easily.
Protists are a large and diverse group of microorganisms that belong to the family of Protista. Protists classifications frequently change as new organisms are discovered.
