Six Kingdom Classification System
The six kingdom classification system is used to identify, correlate, and organize life forms in similar groups. A life form must exhibit certain biological characteristics to be classified in its specific kingdom. The six kingdoms include Protista (single-celled eukaryotes), Fungi (fungus and related organisms), Plantae (plants), Animalia (animals), Eubacteria and Archeobacteria. Eubacteria and Archeobacteria previously belonged to one kingdom named Monera (prokaryotes). However, many biologist now recognized these two kingdoms to be individual.
