| taxonomy | Taxonomy is the process of naming and classifying things such as animals and plants into groups within a larger system, according to their similarities and differences. taxonomies the process or a system of organizing things into different groups that show their natural relationships, especially plants or animals. In biology, the classification of organisms into a hierarchy of groupings, from the general to the particular, that reflect evolutionary and usually morphological relationships: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. The black-capped chickadee, for example, is an animal (kingdom Animalia) with a dorsal nerve cord (phylum Chordata) and feathers (class Aves: birds) that perches (order Passeriformes: perching birds) and is small with a short bill (family Paridae), a song that sounds like "chik-a-dee" (genus Parus), and a black-capped head (species atricapillus). Most authorities recognize five kingdoms: monerans (prokaryotes), protists, fungi (see fungus), plants, and animals. Carolus Linnaeus established the scheme of using Latin generic and specific names in the mid-18th century; his work was extensively revised by later biologists | en | en |

| taxonomy | the science and methodology of classifying organisms based on physical and other similarities Taxonomists classify all organisms into a hierarchy, and give them standardized Latin or Latinized names There are seven main levels of classification in the hierarchy They are, from most to least inclusive: Kingdom; Phylum (or Division for algae, fungi, and plants); Class; Order; Family; Genus; and Species Taxonomists describe new species, classify organisms, and study speciation, the evolution of new species | en | en |
