Bacteria are not animals. Since a long time there has been a problem in understanding whether bacteria are plants or animals. Later it was taken as plants, because alike plants, bacteria possess a cell wall. Animals do not have a cell wall. The outermost organelle in animals is the cell membrane. Furthermore, bacteria also have a primitive form of nucleus, which makes them far different from plants. Hence they are put into a different kingdom called Archae. Thus, taking cell wall into consideration, bacteria are plants. But as a whole, they are neither plants nor animals. They rule a kingdom of their own.

And yes.....the word "Bacteria" is itself the plural form. The singular form is "Bacterium". So do not write "bacterias".
