Metalloids have properties that are in between those of metals and non-metals, making their classification difficult. They exhibit both metallic and non-metallic properties such as conductivity and brittleness, which can vary depending on the specific element and conditions. This dual nature makes it challenging to categorize them definitively as either metals or non-metals.
The three main categories of elements on the periodic table are metals, metalloids, and nonmetals.
A metalloid is a chemical element with properties that are in-between or a mixture of those of metals and nonmetals, and which is considered to be difficult to classify unambiguously as either a metal or a nonmetal. The six elements commonly recognized as metalloids are boron, silicon,germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
The semiconductors are found primarily in the transition metals groups and are referred to as metalloids.
Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals are classified as metalloids. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, such as being able to conduct electricity but not as effectively as metals. Examples of metalloids include silicon and arsenic.
Metalloids are natural chemical elements.
Elements are usually classified as metals, non-metals, or metalloids.

lichens, corals, viruses, corals, viruses and carnivourous plants are difficult to classify :)

Birds are difficult to classify because they must be categorized by their genetic makeup. Sometimes there are over eight classifications for a specific bird.
because eugleana is hard to classify
they are not made up of cells

where metalloids fit into the properties
Those elements are called metalloids. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
