The primary purpose of biological classification is to organize and categorize living organisms based on their shared characteristics, relationships, and evolutionary history. This classification, known as taxonomy, helps scientists communicate more effectively about species, facilitates the identification of organisms, and provides a framework for studying biodiversity. By grouping organisms into hierarchical categories, such as domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species, taxonomy aids in understanding ecological roles, evolutionary processes, and conservation efforts, fostering a deeper appreciation of life’s diversity.
