However, it's important to note that the classification of Monera is outdated. Modern taxonomy now divides prokaryotes into two distinct domains:
* Bacteria: This domain includes most of the prokaryotes we encounter in everyday life, such as those found in soil, water, and our own bodies.
* Archaea: These are single-celled organisms that often live in extreme environments like hot springs, salt lakes, and deep-sea vents.
So, while "Monera" used to encompass all prokaryotes, it's more accurate to say that prokaryotes are now classified into Bacteria and Archaea.
