A stentor, a type of ciliate protozoan, requires an excretory system primarily to remove waste products generated from metabolic processes. Although stentors can expel waste through their cell membrane via diffusion, an organized excretory mechanism, such as contractile vacuoles, helps regulate osmotic balance and prevents the accumulation of harmful substances. This system is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and ensuring the organism's overall health and functionality in its aquatic environment.
