Long-duration GRB 211211A that lacks a supernova emission even down to very stringent limits at such a low redshift z = 0.076 and is associated with kilonova emission, suggests that its physical origin is from a binary compact star merger. By reanalyzing its data observed with the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor on board the Fermi mission, we find that both time-integrated and time-resolved spectra can be fitted well by using a 2SBPL plus blackbody (2SBPL+BB) model in the prompt emission. The bulk Lorentz factors (Γ_ph) of the outflow can be inferred by invoking the observed thermal emission at the photosphere radius within a pure fireball model, and we find out that the temporal evolution of Γ_ph seems to be tracking with the light curve. The derived values of Γ_ph are also consistent with the Γ_ph-L_γ,iso/E_γ,iso correlations that had been found in other bursts. Moreover, we also calculate the magnetization factor σ₀ in the central engine and σ_ph at the photosphere radius within the framework of a hybrid jet model, and find that the values of both 1 + σ₀ and 1 + σ_ph are larger than 1 for different time slices. It suggests that at least the Poynting-flux component is indeed existent in the outflow. If this is the case, one possible physical interpretation of thermal and nonthermal emissions in GRB 211211A is from the contributions of both $\nu \bar{\nu }$ annihilation and the Blandford-Znajek mechanisms in the relativistic jet when a stellar mass black hole resides in the central engine.
