Prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
^^^^
Ok yes those are the groups, I'll explain how. Prokaryotes mean they have no nucleus in which they store genetic material. Eukaryotes are organisms that do store genetic material in their nucleus. Just remember, you are eukaryotic. That way you can never confuse the two.
Scientists classify living things into two main groups, prokaryotes and eukaryotes, based on the presence or absence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles in their cells. Prokaryotes, like bacteria and archaea, lack a nucleus, while eukaryotes, such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists, have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Until recently, life was considered to be in five kingdoms: Animalia, Plantae, Protista, Fungi, and Monera.
Thanks to DNA advances, now most scientists believe in a three-domain system: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eucarya.
Archaea are considered the most ancient forms of life. Most are 'extremeofiles', living in places most life could not: the intestines of animals, extremely hot water, or extremely salty water.
Bacteria are considered more evolved, and are the most well known of the single celled animals.
Eucarya are plants, fungi, and animals, with fungi considered to be closer to animal than plant on the new tree of life.
Scientists classify things to organize and understand the diversity of living organisms or objects. Classification helps in identifying relationships and patterns, as well as making it easier to study and communicate about different groups of organisms or objects.
A classification system helps scientists organize and group organisms based on shared characteristics, making it easier to study and communicate information about different species. It provides a common language and framework for discussing biodiversity and evolutionary relationships among organisms.
Classification is typically done based on shared characteristics or criteria. This can include properties such as size, shape, color, function, or behavior. Various systems and methodologies, such as taxonomies, algorithms, or categorization frameworks, can be employed to classify things.
Aristotle classified living organisms based on their habitat (land, sea, or air) and characteristics such as size and possession of blood. He categorized them into groups like mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates.
Taxonomists classify organisms into groups based on shared characteristics, name newly discovered species, and revise classification systems as new information becomes available.
The first scientist to classify living things into two main groups was Aristotle. He divided organisms into plants and animals based on their ability to move and their way of obtaining nourishment.

scientist classify parts of an ecosystem by biotic things (living things) and abiotic things ( nonliving things).
Scientists use a system called taxonomy to classify all living things. This system organizes organisms into groups based on their shared characteristics. The main levels of classification are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

coz it is one of the basis for classification...
it is easier to classify them. its called classification of life
To be able to study all the living things in our universe, we need a way to group or classify them together. Scientists divided all things into living and non-living. Then they divided those (e.g. animal kindom and plant kingdom, then continued dividing them on how the items were seimilar or dissimilar).
Scientists do not classify viruses as living things because they lack key characteristics of living organisms, such as the ability to reproduce and carry out metabolic processes on their own. Viruses are considered biological entities that require a host cell to replicate.
We classify living things to keep track of the branching evolution of each living thing.
Scientists use characteristics such as body structure, cellular organization, mode of nutrition, and method of reproduction to classify living things. These characteristics help differentiate organisms and place them into different taxonomic groups based on their similarities and differences.
