Euglenozoa are monophyletic group of flagellated protists as well as free-living, symbiotic, and parasitic species. According to genetic studies, Euglenozoa are meither plant nor animal despite the suffix zoa. They are somewhat the living dependent of a few of the primal unicellular organisms called eukaryotes. It is also a genus of unicellular flagellate protists where the word "unicellular" means that the organism consists of one cell only that's why they're not considered plant or animals.
