In microorganisms micro means small and organism means living ones, so those living ones which are not seen without the help of a microscope, are microorganism.

What are viruses?

Viruses are obligate parasites and are very small in size. Viruses cannot live outside the host cells as they require host cell gene expression machinery to divide and perform metabolic reactions. Viruses remain inactive in the environment until found the host cells.

As viruses cannot qualify the criteria of living beings because they cannot survive separately in the evnironment,  that's why cannot be considered living organisms.

Mostly microorganisms are single-celled organisms like bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Viruses are not considered microorganisms because they are nonliving outside the host body.
