If they are not really living why do people tend to call viruses 'micro organism'?
Viruses are often referred to as microorganisms because they are very small and can only be seen with a microscope. While they do not fit all the criteria to be considered living organisms, they share characteristics with other microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.
What do you call a person who studies the viruses?

Why can't we classify a virus as a living thing?
Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things.
Why viruses are difficult to classify as living organisms?
Viruses lack the cellular structure and independent metabolism typically found in living organisms. They can only replicate inside a host cell by hijacking the cell's machinery. This unique mode of reproduction blurs the line between living and non-living entities, making viruses challenging to classify definitively.

Viruses and bacteria are which type of living thing?
Bacteria and viruses are small and can only be seen through a microscope. The small living things are microorganisms or microbes. Some people do not think viruses are living things because they are acellular particles. They consider them to be an organic structure that interacts with living organisms.
What makes people think that viruses are living?
People just are uninformed about science and other subjects.
