Taxonomy is the science of classifying and naming living organisms based on shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
It involves organizing species into hierarchical categories, such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Developed by Carl Linnaeus, this system provides a standardized way to categorize and communicate information about the vast diversity of life on Earth.
Taxonomy helps scientists understand the evolutionary history and relationships among organisms, facilitating the study of biodiversity, ecology, and evolution.
