Explanation:

The tree of life represents the evolutionary relationships among living organisms. Viruses are not considered living organisms in the traditional sense as they are acellular and cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own. They are not included in the tree of life which is based on cellular life forms. Protozoa, helminths, and fungi are all cellular organisms and have their place in the tree of life.
