What are limitations in the system of classification of Carl Linnaeus?

Answer»

Some lower organisms share the characters of both animals and plants. So it is difficult to recognize them as plants or animals. Linnaeus considered only plants and animals for his classification. Microscopic organisms like bacteria, fungus, protozoa, etc were not included either in plant kingdom or in animal kingdom. Certain animals which were included in the classification of Linnaeus show characters of both the animal and plant kingdoms. Eg: Euglena protozoan shows locomotory movements like animals, but it contains chlorophyll like plants.
