Taxonomy is a method of classifying organisms devised by Carolus Linnaeus. It involves the use of binomial nomenclature, which is the combination of a genus name and a single epithet to identify each species of organism.
All organisms are classified in a ranked hierachy:
1. kingdom
2.phyllum
3.class
4.order
5.family
6.genus
7.species
