    -Robert Whittaker, an American ecologist, proposed the five-kingdom classification system in 1969.
    -This system classified organisms into five kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia, based on cell type, mode of nutrition, and other characteristics.
    -Whittaker's classification was a significant advancement over the previous two-kingdom system and is still widely used today, although with some modifications.

    -Five Kingdom Classification was proposed by R.H. Whittaker. Five kingdoms defined in this classification were named Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
    -The main basis for classification was cell structure, body organisation, mode of nutrition, reproduction and phylogenetic relationships.

    -The main criteria for classification used by him-
