Organisms in the 1st group are frequently referred to as primitive or lower organisms,while those in second group are called advanced or higher organisms. In reality, these terms are not quite correct since they don't properly relate to differences.  Please explain me these sentences and tell me why these two terms are incorrect in reality . This question comes from page  82 of class-9 NCERT science book.
