Kingdom Protista
It is in the protista kingdom.
The kingdom that includes amoeba and paramecium is Protista. Protists are single-celled organisms that are eukaryotic and have characteristics of both plants and animals. They are typically found in water environments and can have diverse forms and feeding strategies.
Paramecium are not fungi because they belong to the kingdom Protista, while fungi belong to their own kingdom, Fungi. Paramecium are single-celled eukaryotic organisms characterized by their cilia for movement and feeding, whereas fungi are primarily multicellular (with some exceptions) and absorb nutrients through decomposition. Additionally, fungi reproduce via spores and have a cell wall made of chitin, while paramecium have a pellicle that provides structure without being rigid. These fundamental differences in classification, structure, and nutrition distinguish paramecium from fungi.

Kingdom Protista
It is in the protista kingdom.
The paramecium and euglena belong to the Kingdom Protista. This kingdom is composed of single-celled organisms that have characteristics of both plants and animals. Protists are primarily aquatic and can be found in various freshwater and marine environments.
Amoebas belong to the phylum Amoebozoa, while paramecium belong to the phylum Ciliophora.

For the paramecium to move forward, its cilia beat on an angle, backward in unison. This means that the paramecium moves by spiralling through the water on an invisible axis. For the paramecium to move backward, the cilia simply beat forward on an angle in unison. If the paramecium runs into a solid object, the cilia changes its direction and beats forward, causing the paramecium to go backward. The paramecium turns slightly and goes forward again. If it runs into the solid object again it will repeat this process until it can get past the object
Kingdom Protista
The paramecium belongs to the kingdom Protista, while the water mold belongs to the kingdom Fungi.
Paramecium is a Eukaryotic cell, not a Prokaryotic cell
