Although single-celled, some are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. ... These are single-celled (e.g., Monosiga), aquatic (both fresh water and marine) protists that have a single flagellum surrounded by a collar ("choano" = collar) of microvilli. Some (e.g., Proterospongia) form simple colonies during part of...

The members of the Protist Kingdom are a varied bunch. If it's ... Foramineferans are single-celled animal-like protists who build pretty shells out of calcium carbonate. They have pseudopods like an amoeba which they use to move, anchor themselves, and capture their food. Most of them live in the sea, but a few species...

Text : Amoeba is a single-celled protist that moves by extending pseudopodia ( literally “false feet” ) from its cell. The cytoplasm flows along one or more pseudopodia, and in this way Amoeba can surround and engulf its food.

Recent studies of protist DNA and ultrastructure has shown that the protists are far more diverse than had been previously expected; they probably should be classified in several kingdom-level taxa. We retain the word "protist" as a convenient term to mean "eukaryote that isn't a plant, animal, or fungus."

Consider these “exceptional cases” as “Missing Links” between the single celled and muti-cellular kingdoms! In the mean time, scientists are arguing with each other about classifying and there seems to be a trend to exclude multi-cellular organisms from the Protist kingdom in the future!
