Nomenclature The word 'Protoctista' had been introduced by English naturalist John Hoggs in 1861 to designate "all the lower creatures, or the primary organic beings; -both Protophyta, .. Having more the nature of plants, and Protozoa.. Having rather the nature of animals.
In addition, the protoctist kingdom solves the problem of blurred boundaries that arises if the unicellular organisms are assigned to the intrinsically mulitcellular kingdoms. [details]
