Zero (0) is classified as neither prime nor composite. A prime number is defined as a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself, while a composite number is a natural number greater than 1 that has more than two positive divisors. Since 0 does not meet the criteria for either category, the correct classification is neither prime nor composite.
