The term is taxonomy.
An example of the hierarchy - classification of the house cat:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Felidae
Genus: Felis
Species: Felis domesticus
The levels of classification in the Linnaean system are: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. These levels help categorize organisms based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships.
Biological classification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
"Scientific classification" redirects here. For other uses, see Scientific classification (disambiguation).
Biological classification or scientific classification in biology is a method by which biologists group and categorize organisms by biological type, such as genus or species. Biological classification is a form of scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis. Modern biological classification has its root in the work of Carolus Linnaeus, who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics. These groupings since have been revised to improve consistency with the Darwinian principle of common descent. Molecular phylogenetics, which uses DNA sequences as data, has driven many recent revisions and is likely to continue to do so. Biological classification belongs to the science of biological systematics.

The levels of organization in living things are: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. Cells are the basic unit of life, tissues are groups of cells working together, organs are groups of tissues working together, organ systems are groups of organs working together, and organisms are complete living things.
The earliest classification systems grouped organisms based on observable physical features, such as morphology and anatomy. This system organized living things into categories based on similarities in structure and behavior.
The 6 classification levels are Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, and Genus. These levels are used in taxonomy to organize and classify living organisms based on their similarities and differences.
The Seven Levels Of Classification Are:1. Kingdom2. Phylum3. Class4. Order5. Family6. Genus7. Species
Classification systems are used to group living things based on their shared characteristics, such as anatomical structures, genetic relationships, and behaviors. By organizing organisms into categories, classification systems help scientists study and understand the relationships between different species, as well as communicate information about them more effectively. This system also helps in identifying new species and tracking evolutionary history.
1.because we are able to study different organisms and their relationship. 2.more over5milloinspecies are there,without classification we couldnot identify easily.
The levels of organization in living things are: cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. Cells are the basic unit of life, tissues are groups of cells working together, organs are groups of tissues working together, organ systems are groups of organs working together, and organisms are complete living things.

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION is the study that deals with classification of living organisms only hence the plants and animals are the only living organisms on earth
classification "The science of classification as applied to living organisms
bio- = living organisms bio-logy = study of living organisms
Taxonomist
The highest classification into which living organisms are grouped in
taxonomy is the classification of living and non-living things .
It's very useful because there are many living things and they are of different types,therefore we need classification of organisms ;)
Classification provides a common language for scientists, and gives a common reference point with already identified organisms.
