Answer 1

It is important to classify because of the following five reasons

• It makes studying a wide variety of different organisms easier.
• It gives us an excellent picture of every aspect of life form at a single glance.
• It makes the interrelationship between different species easily understood.
• It provides a very strong base for the growth of other areas of biological sciences and studies like biogeography.
• All fields of applied biology such as public health, agriculture, and environmental biology largely depend on the classification of components of the ecosystem, pathogens, disease vectors, and pests
