Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Animalia includes all animals, which are multicellular organisms that consume organic material for energy, breathe oxygen, and typically have specialized tissues and organs. They are characterized by their ability to move voluntarily, respond to their environment, and reproduce sexually. Animals range from simple creatures like sponges to complex beings like mammals and birds. They play vital roles in ecosystems, maintaining balance and supporting other life forms. This kingdom encompasses a vast diversity of species, unified by common biological traits that distinguish them from plants, fungi, and microorganisms.
