Best Answer

Classification is important for both practical and scientific reasons. Taxonomists identify wild crop plants that provide breeders with useful alleles. They also identify weeds and help develop wild species into new crops. Taxonomy also benefits public health. Accurate identification of parasites and the organisms that carry them (such as a certain mosquito species) is critical for disease control.
