  • In the five-kingdom system, the basis of classification is the complexity of cell structure, physical organization, nutrition method, and life cycle.
  • Aristotle firstly divided the living world into two groups, namely, flora and fauna.
  • After that, in his book 'Systema Naturae', Linnaeus classified all animals into plants and animals.
  • Linnaeus is called the 'father of modern classification system'.

  1. Kingdom Monera-
    • ​​This world consists of prokaryotic organisms ie Bacteria, Cyanobacteria, and Archaebacteria.
