Answer:

please mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

In accordance with the Linnaeus method, scientists classify the animals, as they do the plants, on the basis of shared physical characteristics.  They place them in a hierarchy of groupings, beginning with the kingdom animalia and proceeding through phyla, classes, orders, families, genera and species.

 The animal kingdom, similar to the plant kingdom, comprises groups of phyla; a phylum (singular for phyla) includes groups of classes; a class, groups of orders; an order, groups of families; a family, groups of genera; and a genus (singular of genera), groups of species.  As established by Linnaeus, the scientists call an animal species, as they do a plant species, by the name of the genus, capitalized, and the species, uncapitalized.  So far, the scientists have classified and named something over a million animal species
