Some protists are called plant-like because they possess chlorophyll and can perform photosynthesis, much like true plants. These organisms, such as algae, are capable of converting sunlight into energy and typically have a similar cellular structure, including cell walls made of cellulose. They play essential roles in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers and contribute significantly to global oxygen production.
Animal-like protists are autotrophic, while plant-like protists are heterotrophic.
Plants are like protist in that they have a relatively simple organization.
they are plant-like protists
Plant-like protists are always Unicellular.
They are called plant like protists because, like plants, they photosynthesize their own food. They make sugars just like plants do and through chloroplasts like plants. Some, like Euglena, can be heterotrophic in the dark and even can move through flagella. Some, like Rhodophyta, are more plant like.
for Plato users none of the above plant like protists are called algae
False. They are plant-like protists.
Protists are one celled organisms that have animal like protozoa, plant like algae and planton. There is a flower called protea.

The best way to tell the difference between plants and plant-like protists is that plant cells are part of a bigger structure, whereas plant-like protists are mostlyunicellular.Animal-like protists are even more different- for example, they are heterotrophs, so they can't make their food and don't have chloroplasts.
The eye spot in plant like protists function as a sensory structure.
Both Rhodophyta and Chlorophyta are plant like protists. Instead of roots they have holdfasts. Instead of stems they have stapes. Instead of leaves they have blades. Often called seaweed, but they are multicelled protists. Google them
