The Proton is a composite particle made up of three quarks, each carrying a color charge, and it is not directly related to the Higgs boson, which is a particle associated with the Higgs field. The Higgs boson was discovered earlier and helped confirm the existence of the Higgs field, which explains the mass of elementary particles like the electron and the muon. The Proton's discovery is part of the ongoing efforts to understand the fundamental forces and particles in the universe, contributing to the puzzle of particle physics.
