Swedish Naturalist Carolus Linnaeus devised a system of grouping organisms into hierarchical categories according to their form and structure. Aristotle classified organisms into only two taxa - either plants or animals.
The system that we still use today for giving scientific names to plants and animals has many founders, from the Greek philosopher Aristotle to the Swedish physician and botanist Carolus Linnaeus. It was Aristotle who first introduced the two key concepts of taxonomy as we practice it today: classification of organisms by type and binomial definition.
In Aristotle's system, the two kingdoms were the realm of the natural world (sublunar realm) and the realm of the celestial bodies (supralunar realm). The sublunar realm was characterized by change, imperfection, and the presence of the four elements, while the supralunar realm was considered perfect, eternal, and unchanging.
Aristotle's method of classification was based on superficial similarities rather than underlying evolutionary relationships. This led to inconsistencies and inaccuracies in grouping organisms. Additionally, his system was static and did not account for the dynamic nature of life and the evolution of species.
For Plato, the defining human characteristic is reason or rationality, which distinguishes humans from other animals and allows them to pursue knowledge and wisdom. Aristotle, on the other hand, believed that the defining human characteristic is the capacity for moral virtue, as humans have the ability to act in accordance with reason and cultivate virtuous habits.
Aristotle classified animals according to their physical differences and their habitat.

A dichotomous key is a step-by-step way to identify an organism using a series of paired descriptions
Aristotle classified animals according to their location, and plants according to their stems. Linnaeus, on the other hand, classified organisms according to their form and structure using a seven-level hierarchial system. However, Linnaeus' system was more accurate, being that Aristotle's system of classification was too general and organisms could be placed into more than one category.

Aristotle created a system of classifying animals based on their shared physical characteristics, grouping them into broad categories like mammals, birds, and fish. He also recognized the importance of observing and cataloging different species to understand their biology and behavior, laying the foundation for future advancements in animal classification.
