Protists are in the Kingdom Protista and can be known as unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. Animal like protists are called protozoa.
The phylum Arthropoda is not one of the major phyla of animallike protists. Arthropoda belongs to the animal kingdom and includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans, while animallike protists are members of the protist kingdom.
The three subkingdoms of Protista are Algae, Protozoa, and Fungus-like protists. Algae are photosynthetic organisms, while protozoa are single-celled heterotrophs. Fungus-like protists are similar to fungi in their feeding habits but are classified as protists due to genetic differences.
Protists are informally called protozoa.
The smallest protists are typically single-celled organisms known as picoplankton. These tiny protists can be as small as 0.2 micrometers in size, making them some of the smallest eukaryotic organisms on Earth.
Animallike protist pseudopods are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that allow the protist to move and capture prey. They are used for both locomotion and feeding, as the protist can extend and retract them to change direction or engulf food particles.

True. Animallike protists are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients by absorbing them from other organisms or organic materials in their environment.
Amoebic dysentery
Animallike protists with flagella, such as euglenoids and dinoflagellates, typically use their single or few flagella for propulsion, allowing for swift movement in aquatic environments. In contrast, those with cilia, like paramecia, possess numerous short hair-like structures that enable them to move in a coordinated, wave-like manner, providing greater control and stability. While both types of protists use their appendages for locomotion and feeding, the structural differences between flagella and cilia result in distinct movement patterns and adaptations to their environments.
pyrrophyta ------------- Pyrrohphyta are a type of dinoflagellate which are a type of flagellated protists and sub-classification of protists. Animal-like protists would be known as eukaryotic organisms. Examples of some of the animal-like protists would be paramecium, amoeba, euglena, vorticella and most of what are historically known as protozoans.

Zooprotists, or animal-like protists. They feed on other living things.

Protists which break down organic material are known as fungus-like protists. A few examples of this type of protist are water molds and slime molds.

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.
