Taxonomy Classification

The document discusses the Linnaean system of taxonomy. It is a hierarchical classification system invented by Carl Linnaeus that organizes organisms into domains, kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. The system uses binomial nomenclature, with the first part of the scientific name denoting the genus and the second part denoting the species. The document provides examples of how different taxonomic levels like phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species are defined and how they relate in the hierarchical classification system.
