The science of classifying organisms is known as taxonomy. Taxonomy involves the identification, naming, and categorization of living organisms into groups based on shared characteristics. This scientific discipline helps biologists organize the vast diversity of life on Earth, facilitating the study of relationships among species. An essential part of taxonomy is the Linnaean system, which classifies organisms into hierarchical categories, such as domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Accurate classification plays a crucial role in ecology, conservation, and understanding evolutionary relationships.
