Solution

The more basic characteristic for classifying organisms is the kind of cells they are made of because different organisms may share same habitat but may have entirely different form and structure. So, the place where they live cannot be a basis of classification. We can classify all living organisms into ekaryotes and pokkaryotes on the basis of the kind of cells.
