Slime Molds are what's called a plasmodium, meaning they're basically a sac of fluids with many separate nuclei. The move by committee, meaning each nuclei "chooses" which way to ooze the plasmodium itself, sometimes spliting up.
No, slime mold is not a bacteria. Slime mold is a type of protist, which is a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that are not classified as either plants, animals, or fungi. Bacteria are a separate group of prokaryotic microorganisms.
Slime mold can reproduce both sexually and asexually. In asexual reproduction, slime mold forms spores through a process called sporulation. In sexual reproduction, two different mating types of slime mold fuse to form a zygote, which then grows into a new individual.
The binomial nomenclature of slime mold is Physarum Polycephalum
In response to drought, a slime mold may develop into a dormant spore stage earlier than usual to increase chances of survival. This stage allows the slime mold to endure harsh conditions until environmental conditions improve.
Two broad groups of slime molds are recognized. The individual cells of cellular slime molds remain distinct-- separated by cell membranes-- during every phase of the mold's life cycle. Slime molds that pass through a stage in which their cells fuse to form large cells with many nuclei are called acellular slime molds.
A slime mold can move like a fluid, flowing and changing shape to navigate through different environments.

Slime molds are plant like heterotrophs, which means that they are unable to move

The scientific name of a slime mold is Dictyostelium discoideum.

It is not a good description. A slime mold is a protist.
Slime mold is not a ciliate. Although slime molds enter a amoeboid stage, they are not equipped with cilia.
Slime mold is the only fungus I know of that can move. It will slowly creep down the trunks of trees.
The slime mold you are referring to is likely Physarum polycephalum, commonly known as the "many-headed slime mold". It is a single-cell organism with multiple nuclei, allowing it to grow and move across surfaces in search of food sources despite not having a centralized nervous system. This unique feature enables it to efficiently navigate its environment and form intricate networks.
