उत्तर

Viruses are not placed in the five kingdoms because they are acellular—they lack cell membrane, cytoplasm, organelles and ribosomes. They do not carry out independent metabolism or reproduction outside a host cell. The five kingdom classification is based on cellular organisation, so viruses do not fit into any kingdom.
