Traditional taxonomy of protists (Kingdom Protista) did not accurately represent evolutionary relationships‚ so the classification of this group is unsettled. Modern taxonomy has rearranged the group formerly known as Kingdom Protista‚ separating the different types of organisms into their own candidate Kingdoms.
