why virus is not included in any of the five kingdom proposed by whittaker?

 from my point of view , virus r not included in the 5 kingdom classification proposed by whittaker because they are not truly living , they are non - cellular organisms characterised by having inert crystalline structure outside liviong cell . . .once they infect a cell they take over the machinery of host to replicate themselves .. hence until they infect a cell they r non living ..so they were not included in the 5 kingdom proposal by WHITTAKER ...

i hope u got it
