Linnaeus classified organisms by organism's genetic similarities and differences. He also created a system called Binomial Nomenclature, which is the system in which all organisms are classified in a scientific name, and put into groups.
The system of Aristotle used the habitat and physical structure of an organism to classify it. Linnaeus also used the physical structure of an organism to classify it, but he also took into account the structural similarities of different organisms in classifying them.
