Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of a mouth and the fact that the organism is living inside a human liver suggests that it is an animal, belonging to the kingdom Animalia. Fungi are another multicellular group but they do not typically have a mouth and do not live inside human organs. The two bacterial groups listed (Firmicutes and Proteobacteria) are unicellular and do not have a mouth or the ability to live inside multicellular hosts. Plantae are also multicellular but do not have a mouth and do not live inside animal organs.
