Do you mean generally? Which would be a better classification system?
Animal, mineral, vegetable covers most things on a broad level. Using 'Other' just helps when you have no idea what kind of symbiotic relationship is going on, or when you come across a mushroom...
Keep in mind that a lot of things are neither one nor the other - but some semblance of more than one (eg Coral, Plankton, fungus).
It's generally accepted that using these broad terms to classify something is pretty useless, as you first need to define your system of classification, ie what constitutes a 'vegetable', 'animal' etc. Without the disctinction, the broad terms are useless, and with the distinctions, you have no need for the broad terms.
