Detailed explanation-1: -The Oxford English Dictionary defines an organism as “[an] individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form” This definition problematically excludes non-animal and plant multi-cellular life forms such as some fungi and protista.
Detailed explanation-2: -Single-celled organisms are made of only one cell. Multi-cellular organisms, such as plants and animals, have a higher degree of specialization where the cells work together and function to create a living organism.
Detailed explanation-3: -An organism refers to a living thing that has an organized structure, can react to stimuli, reproduce, grow, adapt, and maintain homeostasis. An organism would, therefore, be any animal, plant, fungus, protist, bacterium, or archaeon on earth.
