Answer:

A taxonomy key instrument used to identify an object. One of the most useful tools available to researchers attempting to identify an unknown organism is a taxonomic key. Keys are used by systematists to identify known organisms and determine whether they have discovered a completely new organism. Taxonomic keys are useful for pointing researchers in the direction of an organism's known name.

However, not all taxonomic keys are the same. They are frequently developed on a regional or specialized scale (for example, Plants of the Great Lakes Region, Argentinean Monocots, etc.).Therefore, it is essential to select a key that reflects the diversity of the region or group of organisms you wish to investigate.

The common tool used to identify various animals and plants based on similarities and differences is the key, or taxonomic key. The contrasting (opposite) pairs of characters known as couplets serve as the foundation for these keys.
