A unicellular or multicellular organism that is not plant, animal or fungus

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize your closet and finding a sweater that doesn't quite fit with your winter clothes, but also isn't suitable for summer attire. Similarly, protists are organisms that don't neatly fit into the categories of plants, animals, or fungi. Just like the sweater exists in your wardrobe without a specific category, protists exist in the biological world as a diverse group of organisms that defy simple classification, being either unicellular or multicellular entities that don't align with the more distinct groups of life.
