Answer:

0 is nor prime or composite

Explanation:

The definition of a prime number is a positive integer that has exactly two positive divisors. Therefore, the simplest reason why 0 is not prime is that 0 is not a positive integer, and the axiom says that all whole numbers greater than 1 are either prime or composite.

0 is a unique case. It is neither prime nor composite, and is neither odd nor even. Zero is an absence of value case which is not made from other numbers...and didn't appear in numbering systems until the past couple of thousand years...it's a weird concept!
