Answer:
According to his system of classification, he grouped organisms according to common physical traits and developed the two-part binomial taxonomy system of categorizing organisms according to genus and species.
Explanation:
The history of biological classification began with Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, who is often called the father of biological classification. He described animal classification based on their habitat, i.e., air, water and land. He was the first person to recognize the need for groups and group names in the study of the animal kingdom.
Later, biologists started to work on the classification of living organisms based on their characteristics. Characteristics can be explained in many ways. A group of organisms is similar enough to be classified together by certain characteristics. Characteristics are the appearance/form and behaviour/function of something. These characteristics decide which organism will be placed in which group.
For example, a dog has limbs, but a snake doesn’t. A dog and a snake can move, but plants cannot. These are the characteristics of different organisms. These behaviours classify them into different groups. But which character should be the fundamental form or function? As per the above example, how should a dog be classified- whether on the basis of body design or its locomotion? Therefore, this was not successful
In the mid-1700s, Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish physician and botanist, published several books on different species of plants and animals. According to his system of classification, he grouped organisms according to common physical traits and developed the two-part binomial taxonomy system of categorizing organisms according to genus and species. This type of classification was effective. Later, his work was combined with the work of Charles Darwin, forming the foundation of modern taxonomy.
Today, some of the characteristics which are used today to classify organisms are as follows:
Type of cell – Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic cell.
Number of Cells – Unicellular or Multicellular.
Mode of Nutrition – Autotrophs (Photosynthetic) or Heterotrophs (Non-photosynthetic).
The level of organization and development of organs.
