Question

Why are viruses not called microorganisms.

Answer 1

Viruses are not "alive," that is, they cannot replicate, unless they are inside another organism. A virus is definitely too small to be seen without a microscope. Since viruses are so small (tinier than bacteria) they may be considered microbes.

Most viruses are known because they cause disease.

I hope its help for you !

Answer 2

Answer:

Due to the following reasons..

• Viruses are not alive.

• Viruses are considered to be on the line between living and non-living

• Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
