Best Answer

beginning in ancient times, scientists tried to develop a system of classifying animal and plants. The system we use today was developed by the Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), who separated animals and plants according to certain physical similarities and gave identifying names to each species.

basically to identify every plant and animal species.
