A virus is a very small creature and can not be seen by the naked eye. They can only be seen with the aid of a microscope. Their size is so small that their size can only be measured in micro-meters. The organism which is so small and is measured in micros are known as micro organisms
2. Some purists would have that since a virus does not contain organs, it is not an organism. It certainly does not enjoy an independent life.

∙ 10y agoViruses are not an organism at all. They are not alive. They are nonliving. They are hijackers. Once they get attached to the cell of a living cell, they can take it over and "make" the living cell produce virus particles instead of cell parts. These particles can assemble into more viruses and then they break out of the cell (killing it) and begin the process again. They cannot make more viruses on their own.
