Question

what are functions of taxonomic keys?​

Answer 1

A taxonomic key is a simple tool used to identify a specific object. A taxonomic key is one of the most useful tools available to scientists trying to identify an unknown organism. Systematists rely on keys to help identify known organisms and determine whether they have discovered a new organism entirely. Taxonomic keys are useful tools guiding researchers towards the known name of an organism. However, all taxonomic keys are not created equally. They are often created on a regional level or for a particular group of organisms (i.e., Plants of the Great Lakes Region, Argentinean Monocots etc.). So it is important to pick a key that represents the diversity of the region or group of organisms you are interested in examining.
