Viruses are called mysterious microorganisms because they are said to be on the borderline dividing the living thing from non-living things.Viruses can multiply and reproduce only inside the cells of other organisms like plants, animals and bacterial cells. As long as they are outside the living cells, they behave as non-living things but as soon as they enter the living cells of other organisms, they start behaving as living cells and make hundred and thousand copies of itself by using the host machinery.
