Scientists use four questions to determine if something is a living thing - does it eat, grow, move, and reproduce. There are three main kingdoms of living things - the animal kingdom, whose members can move and eat other organisms; the plant kingdom, whose immobile members can produce their own food; and the fungi kingdom, whose stationary members consume dead remains.
