Virus is considered as a border line the living and the non-living due to the following reasons-
1.It could can reproduce, eat,move and multiply into numbers when inside a host organism,i.e. can perform all the functions which the living beings are capable of.
2. But is unable to reproduce,grow, respire, feed, excrete or move when it is alone or not with or inside a host.
As, it functions both as a living and a non-living organism so it could be considered as a border line between the living and the non-living.
Hope it helps...
