Answer:-
In classical taxonomy, classification is based on morphology. In modern taxonomy, classification is based on phylogenetic relationships of the organisms. In classical taxonomy, only a few individuals were studied. However, in modern taxonomy, the large number of individuals were studied.
Explaination:-
Classical taxonomy deals with the classification of species in which species is considered as basic unit. In this, an organism is classified into domains, kingdoms, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. In this, the organism is classified using both morphology and phylogeny.
Organisms are grouped into taxa (singular: taxon) and these groups are given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a super-group of higher rank, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy. The principal ranks in modern use are domain, kingdom, phylum (division is sometimes used in botany in place of phylum), class, order, family, genus, and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the founder of the current system of taxonomy, as he developed a system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorizing organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms.
