What organism combines the characteristics of an animal and a plant?

An organism that combines both plant and animal characteristics can be considered green euglena. The main feature is her way of eating. This unicellular organism, like plants, uses autotrophic nutrition. Photosynthesis is available in Euglene. That is, the presence of chlorophyll makes it possible to synthesize substances using sunlight. At the same time, euglena green receives organic nutrition from its habitat. Thus, it can be called a heterotroph, like other animals. Euglena is also capable of movement with the help of flagella.
