In physical science, color and size aren't useful for classification because they are physical properties, or properties of a substance that can change without the actual identity of the substance changing. Think of It like Michael Jackson. He was originally black, but altered his physical properties (skin color) to be white. Although his physical properties changed, he was still Michael Jackson, so you can not efficiently classify Michael Jackson based on color. Size works in the same way. Throughout your life you grow from an infant no bigger than a loaf of bread to a full grown man or woman. Although you have changed sizes and physical properties drastically, you are still yourself.
