Why are living organisms classified?

(N/A) Earth hosts a vast diversity of plants,animals,and microbes,all varying in size,shape,color,habitat,and other characteristics. With millions of species existing,it is impossible to study each one individually. Therefore,scientists have developed systems of biological classification. These systems are based on rules and principles that facilitate the identification,nomenclature,and classification of organisms. By grouping organisms based on similarities and differences,classification reveals the evolutionary relationships between them and makes the study of life organized and manageable.
