Protozoans are single-celled organisms and they do not have specialized organs for excretion. Instead, the process of excretion occurs through their cell membrane. The excretory product in protozoans varies among different species and is dependent on their habitat and lifestyle.

Some protozoans excrete ammonia as their primary nitrogenous waste product, while others excrete urea or uric acid. Therefore, the correct answer to the question depends on the specific species of protozoan being referred to.
BUT the most common waste product excreted by protozoans is ammonia. Protozoans lack specialized organs for excretion, and ammonia is produced as a byproduct of their metabolic processes. Since ammonia is highly toxic and soluble in water, it is excreted by diffusion directly into the surrounding environment. Some species of protozoans, such as ciliates, also excrete excess water by a contractile vacuole.
