Linnaeus a Swedish botanist. It is generally descriptive in some way of the anatomic structure or morphological appearance of an organism. Some times the species name may reflect the discoverer of that species or even its geographical range.
how does this answer my question its supposed to be straight the taxonomic system is based upon....

∙ 13y agoScientists use three main methods:
1.)Orthodox- A system of classification in which organisms are grouped on the basis of features that seem to reflect their common ancestry. (Not used much)
2.)Phenetics- The study of relationships among a group of organisms on the basis of the degree of similarity between them, be that similarity molecular, phenotypic, or anatomical. (MOST POPULAR)
3.)Cladistics- The study of the pathways of evolution (Evolutionary patterns)
But overall some basic things would be anatomy, where they live, reproduction, biochemistry, behavior, etc.
