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.
