The Five Kingdom System Differentiates Organisms based on :Ĭell Structure - it comprises of individual components needed by an organism to carry out various life processesīody Organization - it is how the body of an organism is organized at various levels. Hence, to classify and study all organisms, a broader system was needed to first classify and put all of them into different groups.
There are organisms, with no similarities with plants or animals. The basic two-kingdom classification that divides plants and animals into two groups was not efficient enough to help study other organisms that did not fall in either of the categories. As evolution is a continuous process with a standard classification system in place it is easier to place the organisms according to their groups and identify their characteristics. The systematic classification of organisms is needed to study them properly. Aristotle first, classified living organisms on the basis of their habitat (living on water, land, or air). Segregating living organisms into different hierarchical groups depending upon their similarities in their structure, functions, physiology, etc. It is nothing but a simple classification from which we learn in which biological group an organism belongs.
To ease this pain of wonderment, Biological Classification provides an answer. Do you ever come across the name of an organism or a plant for the first time and keep wondering what exactly it is? Is it an animal or a plant or an insect or something else? We often tend to keep pondering over such thoughts, and never find an answer.
