Hello dear student
Taxonomy
It is in a broad sense the science of classification, but more strictly the classification of living and extinct organisms that is biological classification.
The term is derived from the Greek taxis (“arrangement”) and nomos (“law”) .
TYPES -
There are eight distinct taxonomic categories. These are
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. With each step down in classification, organisms are split into more and more specific groups.
Hope that's helpful
Best of luck
