The term "protist" originates from the Greek word "protistos," meaning "the very first" or "the first of all." It refers to a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that are not animals, plants, or fungi, typically single-celled or simple multicellular organisms. Protists encompass a wide variety of life forms, including algae, protozoa, and slime molds, reflecting their evolutionary position as some of the earliest forms of life on Earth.
