The answer that fits the blank is NUCLEARIID. Nucleariids are particularly an amoeba group which is commonly seen in freshwater and soils and these are known to be the closest ancestor of fungi. This group falls in the eukaryota domain. One of the prominent features of nucleariid is their threadlike pseudopodia.
