What is the basis for grouping organisms into five kingdoms?

All the organisms are divided into five kingdoms which are Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animilia. The bases for classifying all organisms into five groups are:

(i) Type of cellular organization: whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic


(ii) Body organization: whether the organism is multicellular or unicellular


(iii) Mode of obtaining food: whether the organism is autotrophic of heterotrophic


(iv) Presence or absence of cell wall
