Detailed explanation-3: -One branch of biology, called taxonomy, focuses on the classification of living things. Taxonomy is the study of relationships between living things and the formal classification of organisms into groups based upon those hypothesized relationships. Organisms are classified based upon their similarities and differences.
Detailed explanation-4: -“Taxonomic hierarchy is the process of arranging various organisms into successive levels of the biological classification either in a decreasing or an increasing order from kingdom to species and vice versa.” Each of this level of the hierarchy is called the taxonomic category or rank.
