How do scientists classify an unknown species?

Scientists classify an unknown species through a process called taxonomy, which involves several steps. They first observe and describe the organism's physical characteristics, behaviors, and habitats. Then, they compare these traits to known species using morphological, genetic, and ecological data to determine its relationships and place within the existing classification system. Finally, they may assign it a scientific name following the rules of binomial nomenclature, ensuring it fits within the broader hierarchical structure of life.
