First off a prokaryotic organism is a thing that has no nucleus that holds it's genetic material. Viruses are prokaryotes. Their genetic material isn't in a nucleus. It has an inner core that holds its genetic material, and the inner core is protected by the virus's protein coat.

Are viruses simpler than prokaryotes?

Yes, viruses are generally considered simpler than prokaryotes. Viruses consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat and sometimes a lipid envelope, lacking cellular structures and metabolic machinery. In contrast, prokaryotes, like bacteria, are single-celled organisms with a more complex structure, including a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and the ability to carry out metabolic processes independently. Thus, in terms of complexity and functionality, viruses are simpler than prokaryotic cells.
