In the earlier classification system, bacteria, fungi, ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms are included under Plantae on the basis of

Step-by-step solution

In Linnaeus' time, a two-kingdom system of classification with Plantae and Animalia kingdoms was developed that included all plants and animals, respectively.
