Among the four groups of organisms—plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms—certain plants (like succulents and cacti), some animals (such as reptiles and desert-dwelling mammals), and microorganisms (like certain bacteria and archaea) are adapted to live in dry environments. These organisms have developed specialized features, such as water storage, reduced water loss, or unique metabolic pathways, to survive in arid conditions. Fungi typically thrive in more moist environments and are less adapted to dry habitats.

What kingdom would unicellular prokaryotes that live in dust be?

Unicellular prokaryotes that live in dust would belong to the kingdom Monera, which includes bacteria and archaea. These organisms are characterized by the absence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, and can thrive in various environments, including dry and dusty conditions. Depending on their specific characteristics, they could be classified further into different groups such as bacteria or archaea.
