Answer: we classify organisms to group living beings who share the same characteristics or who have common attributes
Explanation: So, since the late '60s and based on the proposal of the researcher Robert Whittaker, most biologists group living beings into 5 large groups called Kingdoms, based mainly on three characteristics:
* type of cell,
* number of cells in each organism and
* the way of obtaining energy.
As a result, we could have 5 kingdoms; and these kingdoms are:
Monera, represented by the microorganisms of prokaryotic type known colloquially as "bacteria"
-Fungi, represented by mushrooms
-Plantae, the kingdom of the plants
-Animalia, the kingdom of the animals, and
-Protist, a very diverse group of organisms of eukaryotic type.
