Whittaker's kingdom classification system is a five-kingdom classification system based on cell, tissue, and body structure. The five kingdoms were Protista, Prokaryota,Metaphyta, Metazoa, and Fungi.
The Whittaker five-kingdom classification system categorizes living organisms into five main groups: Monera (bacteria), Protista (unicellular organisms), Fungi (molds and mushrooms), Plantae (plants), and Animalia (animals). This system is based on the organism's cell type, method of obtaining nutrition, and complexity of the organism's structure.
In 1967 , Whittaker introduced five kingdom classification system.It was based on the levels of organization and the principal modes of nutrition. in 1988 Margulis and Schwartz modified his five kingdom system. They considered genetics along cellular organization and mode of nutrition in classification.
Robert Whittaker is credited with replacing the 2 kingdom taxonomic system (plants and animals) with the 5 taxonomic kingdom system. His system included the kingdoms of Monera (now split into bacteria and archaea), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
The kingdoms included in both Linnaean and Whittaker systems of classification are Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera (or Prokaryotae in the Linnaean system).
The largest level of classification in a kingdom is the phylum.
A kingdom is a broader classification level compared to a family. Kingdom is one of the higher taxonomic ranks in biological classification, whereas family is a lower rank that falls under kingdom.
Robert Whittaker
Carl Woese modified Robert Whittaker's classification by proposing the three-domain system of classification, which categorizes organisms into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, based on genetic similarities. This replaced the traditional five-kingdom system introduced by Whittaker.
The primary classification was a two kingdom classification which categorized all living beings as plants and animals. Later came the 5 kingdom classification as proposed by Whittaker. Actually the categorization was based on the physiological as well as Morphological characteristics of the living organisms. The prime aim of such classification was to make the study process more organised and easy. It also helps in identification and nomenclature of the organisms.

No.there are 5 kingdoms in Whittaker organization
Robert Whittaker is credited with replacing the 2 kingdom taxonomic system (plants and animals) with the 5 taxonomic kingdom system. His system included the kingdoms of Monera (now split into bacteria and archaea), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

In 1969 Robert Whittaker defined five Kingdoms:Animalia (animal)Plantae (plant)Fungi (fungi)Protista (comprised by various one-celled animals)Monera
it is Robert Whittaker....
The kingdoms included in both Linnaean and Whittaker systems of classification are Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera (or Prokaryotae in the Linnaean system).
