Protists are not known to have a direct benefit to the human body. Some protists can cause diseases in humans, like malaria caused by Plasmodium. However, there are beneficial protists in other organisms, like in the rumen of cows where they help in digesting cellulose.
Some protists can be parasites, meaning they derive nutrients and shelter from a host organism, which can cause harm or be detrimental to the host's health. Examples of parasitic protists include Plasmodium, which causes malaria, and Giardia, which causes gastrointestinal illness.
