What is Linnaeus's significant development to modern taxonomy?

Answer 1

Linnaeus's contribution to taxonomy was that he expanded on Aristotle's ideas of classification. Like Aristotle, Linnaeus used observations as the basis of his system. He wrote descriptions of organisms in groups based on their observable features. Linnaeus also used his observations to devise a naming system for organisms. In Linnaeus's naming system, called binomial nomenclature, each organism is given a two-part name.

Answer 2

Linnaeus, the father of biological classification and taxonomy was the first to classify living organisms into 5 kingdoms, Kingdom plantae(plants) , Kingdom Animalia(vertebrates and invertebrates) , Kingdom Protista(protozoa, algae and lower fungi) , Kingdom fungi(moudls and yeasts) and Kingdom Prokaryote(Bacteria, Archae and Cyanobacteria)
