PROTOZOA
Traditionally the animal kingdom has been divided into two subkingdoms; Protozoa* and Metazoa* .
Protozoa are the most abundant animals in the world in terms of numbers and biomass. Their principal importance is as consumers of bacteria (PROKARYOTES ). Bacteria play a vital role in maintaining the earth as a suitable place for inhabitation by other forms of life and protozoa play a vital role in controlling their numbers and biomass. Protozoa are also important as parasites and symbionts* of multicellular animals.
Protozoa are defined as single-celled eukaryotic* organsims, that feed heterotrophically* and exhibit diverse motility mechanisms. However, it is impossible to draw a line between unicellular animals (consumers), plants (producers) and fungi (decomposers) and it is customary to speak of the Protista* as a separate kingdom of unicellular eukaryotes that embraces both heterotrophic protozoa and autotrophic algae.

A protozoan is a single-celled organism, some species of which are just about big enough to be seen with the unaided eye.

protozoa well proto means first and zoa means animal. they are micro scopic organisms that are in the same family as algy and slime.the ecological role of protozoa in the transfer of bacterial and algal production to successive trophic levels is important. i know its a little much but what the heck im answering your question to the best of my ability!

a Protozoan is a type of single celled organism that is capable of independent motion, like bacteria, but possesses chlorophyll for deriving sunlight like a plant.
