R.H. Whittaker’s classification (1969) proposed five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Kingdom Protista includes all single-celled eukaryotes. This encompasses a diverse group including unicellular algae (like Euglena), diatoms, slime moulds (which are often multicellular at certain stages but are considered protists), and protozoans (like Amoeba, Paramecium).
