Hello dear student,

I am hoping you are asking about the biological classification of the kingdom. So many classifications are proposed by different scientists , but the one we consider is by Whittaker. He proposed 5 kingdom classification.  That is Monera ,protista ,fungi ,plantae and animalia. This classification is based on these characteristics which are cell structure, body organisation, mode of reproduction, nutrition and phylogenetic relationship.

I hope this is helpful

Thank you
