It is that if you notice that this classification is purely based on the evolution and even this has some demerits which paved a way for several other modifications on this.

Demerits of five- kingdom Classification:Although this system is considered to be an advanced system but still objections have been raised against this, which are following.

It fails to distinguish between archaebacteria and eubacteria.
The kingdom- Protista is a highly heterogeneous group of organisms, which seems to be having polyphyletic evolution.
Placement of algae on the basis of the degree of the cellular organization into different kingdoms appears to be unrealistic.
Red and brown algae placed in kingdom – Plantae is not related to other members.
Viruses an important form of life has not been considered in this system of classification.
