Euglena : Flagellated Protist/Protozoa
Euglena is a common flagellate protist, typical of the euglenids, and commonly found in nutrient-rich freshwater, with a few marine species. The cells vary in length from around 20 to 300 μm, and are typically cylindrical, oval, or spindle-shaped with a single emergent flagellum. There are usually many bright green chloroplasts, although some species are colorless. If sunlight is not avalible, it can absorb nutrients from decayed organic material. Euglena is a mobile eukaryotic cell that moves using flagella.
The name comes from the Greek words εὔ (eu) and γλήνη (glēnē), meaning good eyeball, referring to their light-sensitive eyespots used to direct themselves towards light. Over 1000 species of Euglena have been described. Marin et al. (2003) revised the genus so that it forms a monophyletic group, moving several species with rigid pellicles to the genus Lepocinclis and including several species without chloroplasts, formerly classified as Astasia and Khawkinea.

Euglena are small organisms in the Protist Kingdom. Euglena gracilis is just one of many species of Euglena. They do not have common names like birds or trees, so we have to refer to them by their scientific name.
Euglena are interesting because they are a sort of combination of plant and animal. They can make their own food like a plant, but they can also eat other things, like an animal. They can also swim and move. Scientists argued for years about which Kingdom to put them in, Animal or Plant? Right now they are in neither; most scientists put them in the Protist Kingdom with other microscopic organisms, such as amoeba and paramecium.

Under the current system, no. Protozoa are neither plants, animals, nor fungi. They are members of the kingdom protista.
