Answer:

Taxonomy, in a broad sense the science of classification, but more strictly the classification of living and extinct organisms—i.e., biological classification.

The term is derived from the Greek taxis (“arrangement”) and nomos (“law”) Taxonomy is, therefore, the metology and principles of systematic botany and zoology wnd sets up arrangements of the kinds of plants and animals in hierarchies of superior and subordinate groups. Among biologists the Linnaean system of binominal nomenclature, created by swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus in the 1750s, is internationally accepted.

The usage of the terms taxonomy and systematics with regard to biological classification varies greatly. American evolutionist Erns Mayr has stated that “taxonomy is the theory and practice of classifying organisms” and “systematics in the science of the diversity organisms”; the latter in such a sense, therefore, has considerable interrelations with evolution, ecology, genetics, behaviour and comparative. physiology that taxonomy need not have.

Answer:

Taxonomy (which literally means “arrangement law”) is the science of classifying organisms to construct internationally shared classification systems with each organism placed into more and more inclusive groupings. Think about how a grocery store is organized. One large space is divided into departments, such as produce, dairy, and meats. Then each department further divides into aisles, then each aisle into categories and brands, and then finally a single product. This organization from larger to smaller, more specific categories is called a hierarchical system.

The taxonomic classification system (also called the Linnaean system after its inventor, Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician) uses a hierarchical model. Moving from the point of origin, the groups become more specific, until one branch ends as a single species. For example, after the common beginning of all life, scientists divide organisms into three large categories called a domain: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Within each domain is a second category called a kingdom. After kingdoms, the subsequent categories of increasing specificity are: phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species
