viruses are not living things because they only carry out reproduction which is only one of the characteristics of a living thing.
a thing to be called living it should have all the seven characteristics listed below:
Respiration - viruses don't respire(breathe)
Nutrition - viruses do not feed
Excretion - since they don't eat and breathe they don't give out anything
Sensitivity - they are not aware of the surrounding expect for their survival
Growth - viruses don't grow no increase or decreaase in size
Movement - they move
Reproduction- they reproduce
since only two characteristics are present viruses are declared non living .
What else can I help you with?
Did you identified?
Yes, I have identified the issue and am working on a solution.
Are all organisms living things?

Do some non living things have characteristics of living things?
Yes, some non-living things, like viruses, exhibit characteristics of living things such as replication and evolution. However, they are considered non-living because they cannot carry out these processes on their own and require a host cell to reproduce.
Are Viruses structurally organized?
Yes, viruses are structurally organized with genetic material (RNA or DNA) enclosed in a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane. These structures help viruses infect host cells and replicate.

Do viruses have warm body temperature?
