The two kingdom classification system was given by
Linnaeus in 1758. Lesser number of organisms were known
then in comparison to what the world knows today. He
classified all the known living beings into two
categories—Animalia and Plantae on the basis of the
presence or absence of cell wall in their cells. As bacteria
blue-green algae, fungi, algae, mosses, ferns, gymnosperrß
and angiosperms have their cells surrounded by cell walls
unlike animals, therefore, they were placed together under
kingdom—Plantae.
