Answer 2

Answer:

A taxon is the singular form of taxa, it is a unit used in the biological science classification or taxonomy.

Explanation:

Plant taxonomy is a branch of botany that deals with the identification, classification, characterisation and nomenclature of plants that are based on their similarities and differences.  

• The word "taxonomy" originated from two words, "taxis" which means arrangement and "nomos" which means laws.
• It deals with the classification of plants accordingly to the rules set.
• It was coined by the Swiss botanist A.P. de Candolle.

Objectives of plant taxonomy:

• Identification: Identify the unknown species based on its characteristics, comparing them with already existing species.
• Classification: Placing and arranging the species identified into different groups or taxa according to the similarities and differences.
• Characterisation: It describes the characteristics of the newly found and identified species.
• Nomenclature: Naming the species with a scientific name according to the convention.

Hence, taxon includes a listing of different plants in accordance with the similarities and differences.
