The type of molecule that a protein is is a polymer. To be more specific, protein is a polypeptide. Polymers are molecules that consist of repeating subunits. For example, a chain is a polymer of links, and can be considered a "poly-link". Similarly, proteins are repeating chains of peptide subunits, which are in turn made of amino acids.
