Protozoa
They are Unicellular.
Protozoa are neither bacteria nor fungi. They are single-celled organisms belonging to the Kingdom Protista. They are often classified separately from bacteria and fungi due to their distinct characteristics and lifestyles.
Protozoa has two root words, proto which is Greek for "first" and zoa which is Greek for "animal".

The Euglena is a protozoa with both plant and animal characteristics. It can both photosynthesize and eat other cells to get sustenance.

The two major groups of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists) and algae (plant-like protists). Protozoa are unicellular organisms that can be parasitic or free-living, while algae are photosynthetic protists that can be unicellular or multicellular.
Protozoa are single-celled organisms that are considered animals, as they are heterotrophic and ingest their food. Algae, on the other hand, are photosynthetic organisms that can be single-celled or multicellular and are considered plant-like. Visual characteristics such as cell structure, movement, and mode of nutrition can help differentiate between protozoa and algae.
