A taxonomic key is a tool used to identify organisms based on their characteristics. It helps distinguish between species by guiding users through a series of choices about specific characteristics, such as size, color, or pattern. By following the key's branching structure, users can narrow down possible species matches and arrive at an accurate identification.
A group of similar organisms is called a species.
Taxonomic procedures involve the classification, naming, and organizing of organisms into specific groups based on their shared characteristics. This process helps biologists better understand the relationships between different species and establish a standard system for identifying and referencing organisms. Key components of taxonomic procedures include identifying diagnostic features, creating taxonomic keys, and applying standardized nomenclature rules.
To make a taxonomic key, you need to first identify the characteristics that distinguish different groups of organisms. Then, you organize these characteristics in a step-by-step format that allows users to identify unknown organisms based on these characteristics. Each step in the key should present a clear choice that leads the user to the correct group. Finally, you should test the key with different samples to ensure its accuracy and usability.
A key is helpful in identification and classification of an organism by providing a systematic way to narrow down options based on specific characteristics or features. It helps to match the organism's traits with those listed in the key to determine the correct classification. Keys can be based on physical characteristics, genetic information, or ecological traits to aid in accurate identification.

The taxonomic key is a device used to identify unidentified organisms, so theoretically, it could be used to identify unknown carnivores. A dichotomous key is used to identify different species, so it too could be used in carnivorous animal identification.
I believe you are looking for the term, Dichotomous Keying.

A dichotomous key helps you figure out what your thing is, a taxonimic key helps you figure out the properties.
