because they are classified as mammals and mammals are in the animalia (animal) kingdom

Like it or not we humans are animals. We are not single celled organisms, our cells cannot produce our own food, and we do not produce spores and feed off the nutrients we get out of decaying matter.

Why do some scientists classify fungi as plants and other scientists classify them as animals?

Some scientists classify fungi as plants because they share certain characteristics like cell walls and non-motility. Other scientists classify fungi as animals due to their heterotrophic nature, similar to animals, and their ability to store energy as glycogen, like animals do. Ultimately, fungi are placed in their own kingdom, separate from plants and animals, due to their unique characteristics.


Why do scientist classify animals?

Scientists classify animals to organize and understand the vast diversity of living organisms on Earth. Classification helps to group organisms with similar characteristics together, making it easier to study and communicate about them. It also provides insights into the evolutionary relationships between different species.


Why do scientists classify things?

Scientists classify things to organize and understand the diversity of living organisms or objects. Classification helps in identifying relationships and patterns, as well as making it easier to study and communicate about different groups of organisms or objects.


What do you use to classify things?

well, to classify living things scientists use a dichotomous key. A dichotomous key is a key which is sort of like a family tree, the key is split into two branches. di means 2.sometimes scientists use other keys to classify living thing. hope this helped.


What is the main feature that scientists have used as a basis for classification?

Scientists primarily use genetic material (DNA) as the main feature for classification. By analyzing DNA sequences, scientists can determine the evolutionary relationships between different organisms and group them accordingly. This approach, known as molecular phylogenetics, has revolutionized the way we understand and classify life on Earth.
