Viruses are classified as non-living.

Explanation:

  • Viruses are biological agents protected by a covering. Viruses cannot replicate, unless they are inside another organism and they do not have a metabolic process.
  • A virus is too small to be seen without a microscope and is not visible to the naked eye.
  • A virus may interact with any cell in the body, but it cannot infect all the cells because some cells do not possess the necessary receptors.
