Plant like protist
Protists are a very large, diverse group of organisms, including the plant-like protists (algae), fungi-like protists, and the animal-like protists (protozoans). Some examples are:CiliaFlagellaPseudopodiaAmoeba proteusEuglena gracilis
Protists and plants are similar because there euckaryotic.But they are different beacuse The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are always unicellular. Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.

Rhodophyta and Chlorophyta are two examples of plant like protists. These " seaweeds " have holdfasts instead of roots, stipes instead of stems and blades instead of leaves. They do preform photosynthesis though.
for Plato users none of the above plant like protists are called algae
The eye spot in plant like protists function as a sensory structure.
