Some characteristic features of Euglenoids are as follows.
• Euglenoids (such as Euglena) are unicellular protists commonly found in fresh water.
• Instead of cell wall, a protein-rich cell membrane known as pellicle is present.
• They bear two flagella on the anterior end of the body.
• A small light sensitive eye spot is present.
• They contain photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll and can thus prepare their own food. However, in absence of light, they behave similar to heterotrophs by capturing other small aquatic organisms.
• They have both plant and animal-like features, which makes them difficult to classify and hence they are called as connecting link between plants and animals.

Answer:
Euglenoids are involved in the group of the flagellates and involved in the kingdom protrista. The Kingdom protista includes all the unicellular eukaryotes.
Euglenoids the well defined characteristics features. They are single celled organism and found mostly in freshwater. They includes the characteristics of both the plants and animal cells. In presence of light they perform photosynthesis and in absence of light they depends on the other organism for their food. They have flagella for their movement.
