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".

Bacteria, protozoa, and fungi are considered living cells because they exhibit characteristics of life such as growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, metabolism, and adaptation to their environment. They possess genetic material, membranes that separate them from their environment, and the ability to carry out cellular processes necessary for survival. Additionally, they can evolve through natural selection and have a definite life cycle.
The Euglena is a protozoa with both plant and animal characteristics. It can both photosynthesize and eat other cells to get sustenance.

The major groups of microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and algae. Each group has unique characteristics and roles in the ecosystem.
The protozoa that are not capable of independent movement are called sporozoans. They are parasitic protozoa that typically have complex life cycles involving multiple hosts. Examples include Plasmodium, the parasite responsible for causing malaria, and Toxoplasma gondii, which causes toxoplasmosis.
