Scientists group living things as plants or animals based on their fundamental characteristics, such as how they obtain nutrients (autotroph or heterotroph), cell structure (eukaryotic or prokaryotic), and mode of reproduction. These distinctions help categorize organisms into kingdoms, such as Plantae or Animalia.
