Hey hiiiiii dude here is u r answer ☺
R.H Whittaker's classified organisms into five kingdoms-
Kingdom Monera (ex., bacteria, cyanobacteria)
Kingdom Protista (ex., protozoa, phytoplankton etc.)
Kingdom Fungi (ex., yeasts, mushrooms etc.)
Kingdom Plantae (ex., Bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms etc.)
Kingdom Animalia (ex., Sponges, invertebrates etc.)
Merits of five kingdom classification are-
This system is accepted everywhere due to the phylogenetic placing of different groups of living organisms scientifically.
The prokaryotes are placed in an individual kingdom.
Fungi are placed in a separate kingdom due to its characteristics.
The evolution is clearly explained with more information from the cellular organization, characteristics, and modes of nutrition.
Kingdom Protista contained all unicellular eukaryotes
