The classification system in Biology is a system which helps scientists organize or name different things and types of objects and organisms. Taxonomy is the classification system for grouping and naming living things under their main domain category (see related questions about the Domain category of classification).

The classification system of taxonomy must be done in a certain order following the Domain:

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

An example using the domesticated dog classification is:

Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata

Class Mammalia

Order Carnivora

Family Canidae

Genus Canis

Species/subspecies C. lupus familiaris

A mnemonic device (acronym) to help you learn and memorize this order is:

King

Philip

Came

Over

For

Grape

Soda

OR

King

Phillip

Came

Over

For

Good

Soup
