taxonomy – the branch of science concerned with naming, classifying, and describing the relationships between all living things on Earth

In Unit 4, I learned that systematists, who are also known as taxonomists, play a crucial role in the classification of living things. Taxonomy is the branch of science focused on naming, classifying, and understanding the relationships between all living organisms on Earth. Systematists use various characteristics such as physical traits, genetic information, and behavior to group organisms into categories based on their similarities and differences. Through this process, systematists are able to create a system of classification that provides insight into the diversity and evolutionary history of living things.
