This classification may date from Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC), who made the distincton between plants, which generally do not move, and animals, which often are mobile to catch their food.
Esta división xa se remonta a Aristóteles (384 a. de C. – 322 a. de C.), que distinguiu entre as plantas, que xeralmente non se moven, e os animais, que normalmente son móbiles para coller a súa comida.
