Neither. Plant and animal cells have nuclei and that is one of the main characteristics (eukaryote) while bacterial cells don't have a nucleus (prokaryote), are much smaller, and have different proteins on the surface.

∙ 13y agoBacteria and fungi are members of their own kingdoms so they are neither plants nor animals. Some bacteria are studied by botanists because of their similarity to some plants. A good example is cyano-bacteria which uses the same type of chlorophyll as plants. Although each genera are assigned to various kingdoms there are often grey areas in the definitions of the kingdoms.
Bacteria belong to the domain of prokarya and are a complete domain of life apart from that of the kingdoms of fungi, animalia and plantae, which all belong to the domain eukarya.
Fungi are more closely related to animals and both descend from a common ancestor, a eukaryotic protist most likely related to choanoflagellates, however, plants diverged far earlier and share no common ancestors with fungi and animals. They are instead descended from green algae, another eukaryotic protist.
