Plant-like protists do not have leaves, roots, or stems because they are unicellular organisms. They are not made up of differentiated tissues like true plants, so they do not have specialized structures for functions like photosynthesis, anchoring, or nutrient absorption. Instead, these protists rely on structures like chloroplasts and flagella to carry out essential processes within their single-celled bodies.
Algae are protists because they have some of the same organelles. They also are actually called plant like protists. They are still in the protists kingdom though. Protists are microscopic. But, algae is not microscopic. It is confusing but algae is in the Protists Kingdom. Algae also has call walls.
Yes, most protist cells have a nucleus. This nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is surrounded by a nuclear membrane. There are some exceptions, such as red algae, which have a nucleomorph instead of a traditional nucleus.
Yes and no. If you take some soil, place it in a Petri dish, and flood it with water, you will see in about 20 minutes a vast number of protists. Some would argue this would indicate that there are terrestrial protists. (Others would counter that these protists live in the thin film of water that exists around soil particles; therefore, they are still aquatic. It also depends on what organisms you call protists. If you consider slime molds and oomycetes protists, then there are many terrestrial protists. Slime molds creep along in the leaf litter, and there are several plant pathogens among the oomycetes that attack the above ground portions of plants.
Protists are tiny organisms in the Domain of Eukarya. Historically they were part of the Kingdom of Protista, but this is no longer the case. Protists are incredibly diverse, and there is little to bind them together as a grouping, except for the simplicity of their structure. Protists have either one cell, or else have multiple cells without any specialized tissues. This is what distinguishes protists from other eukaryotes like animals, plants, and fungi. Historically, protists were divided into three groups, based on which of the major Kingdoms they were most similar to. Although this particular classification is no longer formally used, many people still use them to describe protists. The protozoa are the protists which have the most in common with animals. The protophyta have more in common with plants and slime molds are most similar to fungi. Some protists are motile, able to move by using flagella, pseudopodia, or cilia, while others are unable to move. They may live on their own by absorbing energy from sunlight, or they may live symbiotically with a host organism. In some cases, protists may engage in a mutual symbiotic relationship, where the protists gain energy from the host, but perform some beneficial service in return, but often they are parasitic, simply leeching energy off of the host. Protists play fundamental roles in the ecosystems of the world. As such, many protists are quite beneficial to humans. Others, however, are harmful to humans. Protists such as apicomplexa and kinetoplastids cause any number of diseases that afflict human beings, such as malaria, and some protists, such as the amoeba, can cause serious illness when their population gets out of control in the body. The protophyta, or algae, are the protists which play the most beneficial role for humans. Many of the protophyta form the basis of the food chain which drives the engine of life on the planet. The algae create food for other organisms, growing and expanding by absorbing the light of the sun through photosynthesis and serving as food for the lowest-level animal organisms, which in turn serve as food all the way up the food chain. The vast majority of the plankton in the ocean consists of various protists. These algae often look like plants, but they differ in a number of key ways: they have no leaves, no stems, no roots, and no distinct helper parts. In spite of this, they may reach large sizes not usually associated with simple oranisms. Protophyta not only create food, but they also respirate oxygen, making them crucial for sustaining animal life on the planet. In fact, algae generate about half of the oxygen generated by photosynthesis on the planet. It is beyond doubt that the protists play one of the most important roles in sustaining human health on the planet. Without the protists, the ocean’s food chain would collapse, and in turn the food chain as a whole would crumble, and at the same time oxygen would be reduced drastically.
The plural for cilia is still cilia.
kelp are indeed protists, for they are still to simple to be plants.

Most importantly,they have an organized nucleus which is lacked in prokariyotes.

Yes, protists can be found in drinking water, especially in untreated or poorly treated sources. Many protists, such as amoebas and algae, are naturally occurring microorganisms in aquatic environments. While most drinking water treatment processes eliminate harmful pathogens, some protists may still survive if water is not properly filtered or treated. Regular monitoring and treatment are essential to ensure water safety.

It is still around. It has been rebuilded.
Cilia and flagella are both hair-like structures that extend from the surface of the cell, where they assist in movement.Cilia are short and more numerous than the longer flagella. They both have a membrane on their outer surface and have an internal structure of nine pairs of microtubules around two central tubules.Sources:Postlethwait, John H., and Janet L. Hopson.

Vorticella are not plant-like but rather animal-like organisms. They are protozoans belonging to the phylum Ciliophora, characterized by their cilia used for movement and feeding. Vorticella are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain their nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter, which is a characteristic of animals.
