Best Answer

Because a virus is not a living cell. It consists of an outer coat of protein surrounding a core of DNA or RNA. A virus can reproduce while it is inside a living host cell, but outside the host organism, it shows no sign of life. As such, viruses are not included in any of the six kingdoms of living things.
