The classification of living creatures is a multi-step process that involves a hierarchy of processes, each of which indicates a rank or category.
Explanation:
- The scientific classification of organisms into hierarchical groupings based on their morphological, evolutionary, and other links is known as classification.
- All living organisms are categorised into seven obligatory categories, which are organised from higher to lower. The lowest taxon serves as the fundamental unit and has the highest specificity.
- Specificity diminishes when we progress from species to kingdom, i.e. the higher the category, the fewer the organisms in that category have comparable features. Species are the most fundamental and lowest level of the taxonomic hierarchy.
