Biology
Bacteria are no more classified as plants primarily because:
- These are unicellular and prokaryotic
- These are motile
- Many of them are parasitic
- They have no chlorophyll
Answer
These are unicellular and prokaryotic.
Reason — Bacteria are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Unlike plants, which are multicellular and have eukaryotic cells, bacteria are classified as prokaryotes. This fundamental difference in cellular structure and organization led to their separation from the plant kingdom.
