The '''six-kingdom system''' is a somewhat antiquated system of classification of living organisms. The more modern version of the classificatin is a [[three-domain system]], where two of the three domains form their own kingdoms and the third splits into four kingdoms.

The kingdoms are as follows:

{| class="sortable" border="1"

|-
| animalia || [[animal]] || [[eukaryotic cell|eukaryotic]], [[multicellular organism|multicellular]], no [[cell wall]], motile cells, [[heterotrophic organism|heterotrophic]], embryos go through a [[blastula stage]]
