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.
Linnaeus originally classified fungi as part of the plant kingdom.
Two-word name was first developed by Carolus Linnaeus. He chose two words from Latin for naming an organism. First word referred to Genus of organism and second word referred to species of organism.
Carl Linnaeus, Father of Classification
Carolus Linnaeus used Binomial Nomenclature to classify organisms, It is still used today. He named around 400 species which was a lot for him, other scientists may classify about 2,000.
Carl Linnaeus is the man responsible for our organism classification system. He attended Lund, Uppsala, and the University of Harderwijk.
The classification system was developed by a scientist called Carl Linnaeus or also known as Carolus Linnaeus or Karl Von Linne
Carolus (Carl) Linnaeus. Yep. Got this answer from: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Who+created+a+system+to+classify+organisms http://www.luc.edu/cse/programs/sepup/SALI/classify-organize-living-organisms.pdf
Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) developed binomial nomenclature, the formal naming of species, as part of his work in the taxonomic classification of living things.

it helped to classify specific things such as clouds stars and other solar things
Linnaeus's system gave two names to each organism: a genus name followed by a species name. This naming system is known as binomial nomenclature.
