Protists are often referred to as the "junk drawer" of the eukaryotic kingdom due to their diverse and varied characteristics that don't fit neatly into the categories of plants, animals, or fungi. This nickname highlights their eclectic nature, encompassing organisms such as algae, amoebas, and slime molds. As a group, protists can be unicellular or multicellular and exhibit a wide range of lifestyles, including autotrophic and heterotrophic modes of nutrition.
