Robert Harding Whittaker (December 27, 1920 – October 20, 1980) was an American plant ecologist, active from the 1950s to the 1970s. He was the first to propose the five kingdom taxonomic classification of the world's biota into the Animalia , Plantae , Fungi , Protista , and Monera in 1969.
In 1969, life on earth was classified into five kingdoms, as introduced by Robert Whittaker. [29] Margulis became the most important supporter, as well as critic [30] – while supporting parts, she was the first to recognize the limitations of Whittaker's classification of microbes. [31]

Robert Whittaker recognized an additional kingdom for the Fungi. [11]
