   • protoctist - any of the unicellular protists
   • division protista, protista - eukaryotic one-celled living organisms distinct from multicellular plants and animals: protozoa, slime molds, and eukaryotic algae
   • protoctist family - any of the families of Protoctista
   • protoctist genus - any genus of Protoctista
   • phylum protozoa, protozoa - in some classifications considered a superphylum or a subkingdom; comprises flagellates; ciliates; sporozoans; amoebas; foraminifers
   • division heterokontophyta, heterokontophyta - algae having chlorophyll a and usually c, and flagella of unequal lengths; terminology supersedes Chrysophyta in some classifications
   • chrysophyta, division chrysophyta - mostly freshwater eukaryotic algae having the chlorophyll masked by brown or yellow pigment; yellow-green and golden-brown algae and diatoms: Xanthophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Bacillariophyceae; some classification systems superseded or subsumed by Heterokontophyta
   • division euglenophyta, euglenophyta - free-swimming flagellate algae
   • chlorophyta, division chlorophyta - large division of chiefly freshwater eukaryotic algae that possess chlorophyll a and b, store food as starch, and cellulose cell walls; classes Chlorophyceae, Ulvophyceae, and Charophyceae; obviously ancestral to land plants
   • division rhodophyta, rhodophyta - lower plants; mostly marine and littoral eukaryotic algae
   • cryptophyta, phylum cryptophyta - a phylum in the kingdom Protoctista
