Detailed explanation-1: -What are Protists? Protists are simple eukaryotic organisms that are neither plants nor animals or fungi. Protists are unicellular in nature but can also be found as a colony of cells. Most protists live in water, damp terrestrial environments or even as parasites.

Detailed explanation-2: -Organisms in the Protista kingdom include amoebae, red algae, dinoflagellates, diatoms, euglena, and slime molds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The protist cell is a eukaryotic cell. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus and membrane-covered cell organelles (parts within the cell) like chloroplast, Golgi body, mitochondria, etc. Some common examples of protists are Euglena, Paramecium, and Amoeba.

Detailed explanation-4: -A protist (/ˈproʊtɪst/) is any eukaryotic organism (that is, an organism whose cells contain a cell nucleus) that is not an animal, plant, or fungus.

Detailed explanation-5: -An organism is classified in the Protist Kingdom if it does not fit in any of the other eukaryotic kingdoms. Protists are not plants, animals, or fungi. Most protists are microscopic and unicellular, but some can be multicellular, such as colony-forming protists, or even macroscopic, like kelp or seaweed.
