Solution

The term protista was proposed by Ernst Haeckel. He proposed the kingdom protista. Phylogenetically, the kingdom protista acts as a connecting link between the prokaryotic kingdom- Monera on one hand and the complex multicellular kingdoms- Fungi, Plantae and Animalia on the other hand. Protists are regarded as ancestors of all multicellular eukaryotic organisms.
