Because they are single celled organisms.

There are single celled plants like clamydomonas and chlorella. Amoeba and paramecium are not classified as plants because their mode of getting food is not like plants. Rather it resembles more with animals.

Amoeba and paramecium are not classified as plants because they are both single-celled organisms that belong to the Kingdom Protista. Plants, on the other hand, are multicellular organisms that belong to the Kingdom Plantae and have distinct cellular structures, such as cell walls and chloroplasts, which amoebas and paramecia lack.
