Unicellular Organisms
A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that is made up of a single cell, unlike a multicellular organism, which, obviously, consists of multiple cells.
Prokaryotes, most protists, and some fungi are unicellular. Although some of these organisms live in colonies, they are still unicellular.

Unicellular Organisms and Food
Most unicellular organisms eat bacteria, well, absorb, to get the food they need. They use a process called osmosis, think of it like laying something in wet cement, it will slowly sink into it until it has completely submerged. Or been absorbed.
After is had been absorbed, it can spread the bacteria throughout the body with diffusion. This is pretty much the counterpart to the circulatory system, they both send food and energy around the body to fuel it.
Once the bacteria has been digested, It excretes the waste using a process called exocytosis.
