Before the 1600's, many scientists divided organisms into two groups: plants and animals. But as more organisms were discovered, some did not fit into eaither group. In the 1700's, CarolusLinnaes, a Swedish scientist founded modern taxonomy. Taxonomy- is the science of describing, classifying, and naming living things based on their shape and structure.
