Genetics is the final tool of Classification

Answer:
Explanation:
There are about 10-million different kinds of living organisms on the planet. I'll return to that thought in a moment. But consider this scenario: I am with my students and I say to them, "I have a friend named Israel." Now a statement like that one is completely meaningless to my students. After all, they will not know if I am talking about my friend Israel from Europe or my friend Israel from Africa or my friend Israel from United States. They will not know if I am talking about my friend Israel who is 24-years old or my friend Israel who is 54-years old or my friend Israel who is 84-years old. Further, my students will not know if my friend Israel is a student, a taxi driver, a policeman, a pilot, or a carpenter. Nor will they know if I am talking about my friend Benjamin Israel, or my friend Moses Israel, or my friend Shikongo Israel.
By now I think that you are getting my point. After all, there are millions of people named Israel living in all parts of the world and doing perhaps a million different activities. How, then, are you or I to differentiate them or identify one from the others? And that is why we need systems of classification. [By the way, we classify most things: types of music, television shows, automobiles, occupations, cloud shapes, running shoes, rocks, religions, books, computers, and, well, the list is seemingly endless.] We classify things so that when I say, "Ipod," everyone on the planet knows that I am referring to the compact, rechargeable, music storage device made by Apple.
With 10-million different organisms on the planet, we must classify them all so that everyone on the planet will understand the difference between not only a flower and a tree but also between a rose and a cypress tree; or between a poison dart frog in Costa Rica and a green tree frog in North America.
Others before me have addressed your question by listing the very practical benefits of the Linnaeus System of Taxonomy. So I will not reiterate them here. But I hope that mine gives you a very relatable and practical answer to your question.
I hope this helps you.
