Classification

species with similar characteristics are put into groups, and that this is called classification

Classification has ranks that go in order :

kingdom
phylum
class
order
family
genus
species

Kingdoms
The first rank in this system is called a kingdom. There are five kingdoms, based upon what an organism's cells are like:
1.animalia (all multicellular animals)
2.plantae (all green plants)
3.fungi (moulds, mushrooms, yeast)
4.prokaryotae (bacteria, blue-green algae)
5.protoctista (Amoeba, Paramecium).

The information below is for the higher teir only.

Why is binominal classification important?

Being able to classify species is important to scientists as it allows them to accurately identify individual species wherever they are. For example - a robin in America isn’t the same as a robin in the UK so by using the binomial name Turdusmigratorius (American robin) or Erithacusrubecula (UK robin) then there is no confusion.

Binomial classification is important because it can:
clearly identify species
study and conserve species
target conservation efforts
