fertile living things can reproduce itself.
The defining characteristic of a living organism is the ability to reproduce. Many scientists say that viruses are not really living organisms because they can not reproduce independently, but must enter a living cell and reproduce as the cell itself reproduces.

A flower is not a living organism itself, but rather a reproductive structure of a plant. The living organism in this case would be the plant itself, which produces the flower as part of its reproductive process. The flower contains the plant's reproductive organs, such as the stamen and pistil, which play a crucial role in the plant's reproduction.
Reproduction is one of the basic characteristic that every living organism show.Population of a species is maintained by method of reproduction.Living organisms give birth to offspring's by reproduction.
That is a very good question, and is a matter of debate. It does not have the minimum requirements to be "alive", like a cell membrane, nucleus, enzymes and biomolecules. But on the other hand, it does have genetic material that is coded to replicate itself using a host, i.e. another living cell. It needs another life form as host, because it alone cannot carry out the tasks of gathering molecules and putting them together in the form of a new virus, but it does have the information necessary to infect and force the host to use its own energy to replicate the very thing that will eventually kill it. Therefore, virus are considered to be on the very fringes of the term "alive". They do not need nourishment of any kind and can remain active for very long periods of time, almost indefinitely. --- Viruses are not living cells, because -- they don't use energy to grow or reproduce -- they cannot reproduce on their own: they need a "host" cell that will turn their genetic material into more viruses -- they don't eat or produce waste.
The group name in taxonomy for a single kind of living thing that reproduces offspring that can reproduce is a species. A species is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
to continue the species I believe living things reproduce to perpetuate and keep the species going as was from the beginning of time. That is the living things' needs. to ensure the continuity of their kind

The animals must reproduce.
The Taxonomic name is specific to each living thing.

Reproduction is the process by which living organisms produce offspring of the same kind. It ensures the continuation of a species by passing on genetic information to the next generation. There are two main types of reproduction: asexual, where offspring are genetically identical to the parent, and sexual, where genetic material from two parents combines to create unique offspring.
Viruses are not considered microorganisms because they lack many characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce on their own or carry out metabolic processes. They require a host cell to replicate and are often seen as biological entities rather than living organisms.
