Detailed explanation-1: -Viruses are connecting links between living and nonliving organisms. An organism is called a connecting link when it possesses characters of two different organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses are considered as something between living and non-living because they do not grow or reproduce by themselves. This makes them non-living. However, when a virus enters a living cell of an organism, it obtains energy from the host cell and starts reproducing.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is due to the fact that viruses possess the characteristic of both the living and the non-living. For instance, viruses can reproduce inside a host just like any other living organism, but this ability to reproduce is lost when the virus is outside the host cell.
