Question

Will protists be found in aged tap water?

Answer 1

Protists are a group of primitive organisms which are usually found in damp and moist places.Protists develop wherever there is dampness or moisture.

If you are asking of stagnant tap water which is contained, then protists will be found due to the spores which help in their reproduction.You might have seen green patches in pipes and water tanks which are nothing but algae.
