Is the kingdom protista a true clade?
No, the 'Kingdom' Protista is not a clade or monophyletic group at all, most likely. It could be that it should be divided into about 60 separate kingdoms. 'Protista' was used as a catch-all for unclassifyable groups. This surely does not reflect reality and work is under way to properly classify the algae and protista that swarm in this improper group called Protista.

What group of protists do Spirogyra belong to?
Spirogyra is a green alga. It is currently under controversy when this alga belongs with other algae or with the plants it is so much closer to. Modern classification systems may place green algae under the kingdom Protista, Plantae, fragment Protista into dozens of smaller and more specific kingdoms, or simply note indecision. Classification systems are far from perfect and continue to develop, and controversies on the level of kingdoms take much longer to come to a consensus on.
