What is Taxonomy? HELP!?

Question

HELLPP!! ALSO WHO IS LINNAEUS?

Answer 1

Taxonomy is the practice and science of classification.

Originally the term taxonomy only referred to the science of classifying living organisms (now known as alpha taxonomy); however, the term is now applied in a wider, more general sense and now may refer to a classification of things, as well as to the principles underlying such a classification

Carolus Linnaeus, also known after his ennoblement as Carl von Linné (help·info), (May 23, 1707 – January 10, 1778), was a Swedish botanist, physician and zoologist[1] who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of nomenclature. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy." He is also considered one of the fathers of modern ecology (see History of ecology).

He was the most renowned botanist of his time, and also noted for his fine language skills. The French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau sent him the message: "Tell him I know no greater man on earth." [2]; the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote: "With the exception of Shakespeare and Spinoza, I know no one among the no longer living who has influenced me more strongly." [2]; Swedish author August Strindberg wrote: "Linnaeus was in reality a poet who happened to become a naturalist". [3]

Answer 2

Taxonomy is the area of the biological sciences devoted to the identification, naming, and classification of living things according to apparent common characteristics. It is far from a simple subject, particularly owing to many disputes over the rules for classifying plants and animals. In terms of real-life application, taxonomy, on the one hand, is related to the entire world of life on Earth, but on the other hand, it might seem an ivory-tower discipline that it has nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people. Nonetheless, to understand the very science of life, which is biology, it is essential to understand taxonomy. Each discipline has its own form of taxonomy: people cannot really grasp politics, for instance, without knowing such basics of political classification as the difference between a dictatorship and a democracy or a representative government and one with an absolute ruler. In the biological sciences, before one can begin to appreciate the many varieties of organisms on Earth, it is essential to comprehend the fundamental ideas about how those organisms are related—or, in areas of dispute, may be related—to one another.

Answer 3

"The theory and practice of classifying organisms."
"This is the scientific discipline of naming organisms. It was started by Carolus Linné (Carl Linneaus), perhaps the most famous taxonomist. Taxonomy is one of the three branches of Systematics."

Answer 4

plant taxanomy is that branch of botany which deals with study of classification,identification and nomenclature of plants.lineous was the most earliest taxanomist who introduced artificial system of classification based on sexual characters.

Answer 5

The classification of plants and animals.
