Camels have a three-chambered stomach, not four. True ruminants have the typical four-chambered stomach, but camelids like camels do not. They also lack the characteristic rumen, only having the reticulum, omasum and abomasum.

Camels cannot be classified as ruminants because they do not have a rumen, even though they are capable of chewing cud.

No. Camels are pseudo-ruminants because, even though they chew cud, they lack a rumen like true ruminants have.
