Aristotle classified animals according to their location, and plants according to their stems. Linnaeus, on the other hand, classified organisms according to their form and structure using a seven-level hierarchial system. However, Linnaeus' system was more accurate, being that Aristotle's system of classification was too general and organisms could be placed into more than one category.

Linnaeus classified the two kingdom system i.e kingdom plantae and kingdom animalia.

∙ 6y agoBoth Aristotle and Linneaus separated plants and animals. Both made further subdivisions. However Aristotle subdivided plants by size and animals by land, water, and air. Linnaeus subdivided by animal and plants having similar characteristics.

What is a two kingdom classification?
The two kingdom classification system is an older system that categorizes organisms into two kingdoms: Plantae and Animalia. This system is based on the presence or absence of cell walls and the ability to perform photosynthesis. It has limitations due to the exclusion of other important groups of organisms, leading to the development of more advanced classification systems with multiple kingdoms.
Plant classification based on the living conditions of plants?
Not so much. Linnaeus started classifying plant by the differences in their reproductive organs. The broad classification by living conditions would probably split plant into water and land based plants.
