Amorphea

Amorphea[1] are part of a taxonomic large group that contains protists, like Amoebozoa and Obazoa. The ISP, or the International Society of Protistologists (people who study protists) suggested in 2012 that the back term for this large group, Unikont, be changed to Amorphea since the name "Unikont" is a synapomorphy that was shown wrong.
