Classification is a systematic way to organize and categorize organisms based on shared physical characteristics, behaviors, and genetic similarities. Taxonomy, the science of naming and classifying, follows a hierarchical structure including Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species, with each level representing an increasingly specific grouping. The binomial nomenclature system names each species using a two-part name, ensuring clarity in scientific communication. By studying these classifications, we can better understand the diversity of life on Earth.
