Protists that are classified as animal-like are called protozoans and share some common traits with animals.
All animal-like protists are heterotrophs. Likewise, all animal-like protists are able to move in their environment in order to find their food.
Unlike, animals, however, animal-like protists are all unicellular. The are all eukaryotes.
Fungus-like protists are heterotrophs with cell walls. They also reproduce by forming spores. All fungus-like protists are able to move at some point in their lives. There are essentially three types of fungus-like protists: water molds, downy mildews, and slime molds.

Plant-like protists are autotrophic. They can live in soil, on the bark of trees, in fresh water, and in salt water. These protists are very important to the Earth because they produce a lot of oxygen, and most living things need oxygen to survive.
Furthermore, these plant-like protists form the base of aquatic food chains. These plant-like protists can be unicellular, multicellular, or live in colonies. The plant-like protists are divided into four basic groups: euglenoids, dinoflagellates, diatoms, and algae.
