taxonomy
The science and methodology of classifying organisms based on physical and other similarities. Taxonomists classify all organisms into a hierarchy, and give them standardized Latin or Latinized names. There are seven main levels of classification in the hierarchy. They are, from most to least inclusive: Kingdom; Phylum (or Division for algae, fungi, and plants); Class; Order; Family; Genus; and Species. Taxonomists describe new species, classify organisms, and study speciation, the evolution of new species.
