Because their were only 2 kingdoms you can figure out with naked eyes which were plants and animal but as our techkowledge increased we could you microscopes and see cells and figured that mushrooms, mold and mildew eg. was different from plants.
unlike plants mushrooms,mold and mildew eg. couldn't make food on their own so they created another kingdom called fungi. Then after a while at 1983, scientists tool samples from a spot deep in the Pacific Ocean where hot gases and molton rocks boiled into ocean form of earth's interior. To their suprise they've discovered unicelluar (single cell) organism in samples. these organisms were classfied in the kingdom, Archaebacteria. And with microscope they found another groups of cells which was simmilar with Archaebacteria but the chemical made up was different so they were classfied into the kingdom, Eubacteria.
And scientists didn't know what to do with all other organism's left so they made kingdom, Protist Slime molds and algae are protists. Some times they are called odds and ends kingdom because it's members are so different from one and another. Protists include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, not animals, not plats and not fungi
Most protists are unicelluar. You may be wondering why those protists are not classfied in the Archaebacteria or Eubacteria kingdoms, that's because unlike bacteria protists are complex cells
If there was ONLY animal and plants then what would these other 4 kingdoms go into?? so that's the reason why there is 6 kingdoms
The Naked Eye Wasn't As Powerful as the microscope so it only identified 2 kingdoms.
