Characteristics of protozoa: motility: cilia, flagella, pseudopod unicellular heterotroph
Protozoa
They are Unicellular.
Protozoa are neither bacteria nor fungi. They are single-celled organisms belonging to the Kingdom Protista. They are often classified separately from bacteria and fungi due to their distinct characteristics and lifestyles.
Protozoa has two root words, proto which is Greek for "first" and zoa which is Greek for "animal".

Protozoa and Algae
The two major groups of protists are protozoa (animal-like protists) and algae (plant-like protists). Protozoa are unicellular organisms that can be parasitic or free-living, while algae are photosynthetic protists that can be unicellular or multicellular.
Mastigophora is a subgroup of protozoa that includes parasitic organisms such as Giardia and Trichomonas, in addition to Trypanosoma and Leishmania. These organisms typically have flagella for movement and can cause infections in humans and animals. They have unique morphological and behavioral characteristics that distinguish them from other protozoa.
