The continuous, low-level extinction of species is referred to as mass extinction.

A widespread and quick decline in the diversity of life on Earth is known as an extinction event.
A sudden shift in the diversity and abundance of multicellular creatures serves as a telltale sign of such an occurrence. It happens when the rate of diversification outpaces the rate of extinction.
A mass extinction event occurs when a species disappears far more quickly than it is replaced.
This is typically understood as the loss of almost 75% of all species over a "short" period of geological time, or fewer than 2.8 million years.
The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, sometimes known as the day the dinosaurs died, is the most well-known of all the mass extinction events.

On your first research mission you make an amazing discovery by finding a new species living in the hostile environment of the s

Tomtit [17]

The best classification for this new species is Animalia.

According to the six kingdom classification given by Carl Woese, all organisms are divided into 6 kingdoms.

1) Archaebacteria

2) Eubacteria

3) Protista

4) Fungi

5) Plantae

6) Animalia

As the newly discovered species is a multicellular (made up of more than one cell) organism.

Then it can only belong to Kingdom Fungi, Plantae and Animalia as the rest of the kingdoms like Archaebacteria, Eubacteria and Protista consist of unicellular organisms that are made up of only one type of cell.

Now this species is not autotrophic ( i.e. an organism that can get its own nutrition by the use of light, water, carbon dioxide, or other substances).

It means it is heterotrophic which means it can't get nutrition on its own.

Out of the Fungi, Plantae and Animalia , only fungi and Animalia kingdoms consist of heterotrophic organisms.

Now this species also does not contain chitin which is an important characteristics of Fungi.

So only option left is Animalia.

Hence, the best classification for this new species is Animalia.

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The Six Kingdoms. When Linnaeus developed his system of classification, there were only two kingdoms, Plants and Animals. But the use of the microscope led to the discovery of new organisms and the identification of differences in cells. Today the system of classification includes six kingdoms.
