Five Kingdom Classification

Classification is the process of grouping organisms based on similarities, which aids in understanding their relationships. The five kingdoms are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia, each with distinct characteristics such as prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells and modes of nutrition. Example organisms include bacteria in Monera, amoeba in Protista, mushrooms in Fungi, trees in Plantae, and mammals in Animalia.
