Question

Explain taxonomical aids with examples.

Answer 1

Taxonomical aids or the rooms which help the humans study taxonomy are techniques, procedures and stored information that are useful in identification and classification of organisms are called Taxonomical aids (tools for study of taxonomy). They are required because taxonomic studies for plants, animals and other organisms are basic to almost all branches of biological studies for their proper identification and finding their relationships with others. Identification of organisms require both field studies and intensive laboratory studies. A prime source of taxonomic studies is the collection and preservation of actual specimens of plants and animals. The information about habitat, habits and other observable traits is also recorded along with specimen.
In all they are really useful in arranging and create a common identity of certain species from other organisms.

Some useful examples are:
Herbarium (it is a place where the plant specimens are dried and pressed mounted on sheets and kept systematically according to a widely accepted system of classification), Botanical gardens (they are sufficiently large sized tracts where plants of different types and areas are grown for scientific and educational purposes),
Museum (A well know place known by everyone, it is an institution where artistic and educational materials are exhibited to the public. They are responsible for collection and observation of some highly sophisticated materials),
Zoological parks (or in simple words, for kids, 'zoos', it is are really lace where various living animals are kept within enclosures, displayed to the public and may be used for studying certain organisms. Animals may also be bred for various purposes).
In all there is also key of identification under it where indented (yolked key) and bracketed key are used for identification of organisms.
