Resembling plants by having chloroplast and are well known as plant-like protist.

Detailed explanation-1: -Characteristics of Plant-Like Protists They are eukaryotic. Plant-like protists have a true nucleus, and their organelles are enclosed within a membrane. They may be colonial or filamentous. They possess a chloroplast.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plant-like protists are autotrophs. This means that they produce their own food. They perform photosynthesis to produce sugar by using carbon dioxide and water, and the energy from sunlight, just like plants. Unlike plants, however, plant-like protists do not have true stems, roots, or leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animal-like protists are commonly called protozoa (singular, protozoan). Protozoa are mostly single-celled eukaryotes. They have membrane-bound organelles and they commonly show the characteristics usually linked with animals, such as mobility and heterotrophy.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is the difference between Protista and Protozoa? Protozoa is a subkingdom of the protista. Protista Kingdom includes plant like Phytotrophs, animal like prtotozoa, and fungus like slime moulds, whereas protozoa only has animal like unicellular or multicellular organism.
