There are 5 kingdoms; Kingdom Animalia, Kingdom Plantae, Kingdom Fungi, Kingdom Minera, and Kingdom Protistae. Why isn’t there another one for viruses, since they fit in neither of these kingdoms, due to the lack of DNA?

    Viruses aren’t assigned a kingdom because they can’t live without a host cell. Same as prions I believe.
