Taxonomic keys are written characteristic information that helps a person to identify an unknown species of living organism. The taxonomic key provides a certain structure on the basis of which the user can sort out the taxonomic position of the unknown species.
Indented key provides number of choices between two or more contrasting characters.
For example,
Able to disappear
Wings absent
Body covered by furs
Wings present
Unable to disappear
Body covered by feathers
In Bracketed key the two or more contrasting characters always remain in pairs.
