Plant-like protists are known as algae, typically found in freshwater habitats. Algae can be unicellular or multi-cellular.

All algae contain the green pigment chlorophyll in their chloroplasts which gives them the ability to make their own food by photosynthesis.

Examples of plant-like protists include euglenas, volvox, and spirogyra among others.
