➡️ Whether or not viruses should be considered as alive is controversial.
➡️ Yet it is almost certain that they did not know exactly what a virus was. They were, and are, not alone.
➡️ viruses do not show any visible or molecular movement in them until they infect some cell.
➡️ So, there is a controversy about viruses being living or non living as outside the host they behave.
➡️ In fact, viruses do not show any molecular movement there is a controversy about whether they are truly alive or not.

Because viruses are not made up of cells though made up of a set of genetic codes.
Explanation:
- Viruses do not have nucleus, cytoplasm, organelles, etc. like other cells. Unlike reproduction, viruses multiply as whole organisms. This is called as replication.
- Viruses do not produce offspring. Viruses use host cells for replication. Viruses do not grow like other organisms, microorganisms, or cells grow.
- They neither increase in size or complexity but increase in numbers.
