Answer:
as viruses doesn't having their own cellular material,they just have their genetic material,it may be DNA or RNA and a protein coat.they are not able to perform their basic functions in absence of any host.in the outside world they are considered as non living. as because after entering in a cell they replicate their genetic material as their genetic material get incorporated with the host DNA and it uses the machinery and enzymes of host DNA and new viral DNA are produced and the viral DNA is ofcourse a virus

Viruses lack membranes. Hence, they do not show characteristics of life until they enter a living cell. On entering the living cell they use the cell machinery to multiply.
