Meaning of Taxonomy:

The term taxonomy is derived from the Greek words (‘taxis’ means arrangement and ‘nomos’ means law). The term first pro­posed by the Swiss originated botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1813 for the plant classification. He used the term in his famous book—Theory elementaire de la botanique (Elementary Theory of Botany). So taxonomy is the arrangement of the plants and animals on the basis of some laws.

Simpson (1961) has defined taxonomy as the theoretical study of classification including its bases, principles, procedures and rules. Ernst Mayr also defines taxonomy as the theory and practice of classifying organisms. So the science of classification is known as taxonomy.
