Detailed explanation-1: -Organisms with similar characteristics are grouped within these broad kingdoms. Organisms are usually grouped together based on their unique characteristics. The classification of an organism often provides useful information about its evolutionary history and which other organisms are related to it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: There are a lot of known organisms in the world. So, scientists classify them into groups, so that similar organisms are in the same group. This makes it clear and also helps them know which organism descended from which (evolution).
Detailed explanation-3: -Modern scientists base their classifications mainly on molecular similarities. They group together organisms that have similar proteins and DNA. Molecular similarities show that organisms are related. In other words, they are descendants of a common ancestor in the past.
