Contractile vacuoles, on the other hand, are used by protozoans as means of expelling excess water and some waste out the protoplasm. Contractile vacuole found in protists such as Amoeba and unicellular algae carries osmoregulation of the cell. It stores and excretes out the excess water of the cell.

Answer:
Some scientists refer to a “food vacuole” as any large sac inside a cell that contains food for the cell; vacuoles are used to store cellular fuel by some cells in animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms.
A contractile vacuole (CV) complex is a membrane-bound osmoregulatory organelle of fresh water and soil amoebae and protozoa which segregates excess cytosolic water, acquired osmotically, and expel it to the cell exterior, so that the cytosolic osmolarity is kept constant under a given osmotic condition.
