Further Explanation:
Carolus Linnaeus is widely known as the father of taxonomy. This refers to the system of naming as well as classifying the organisms and one of his major contributions was towards the growth of the hierarchical system of the classification of nature. This system involves 8 taxa, namely, kingdom, domain, order, phylum, genus, class, family, and species.
This system includes both small as well as large categories of organisms and for most of the species, there are regional differences in their common names. Taxa are known to be the group that has biological meaning. According to this system, the three kingdoms were segregated into classes and they are further segregated into orders genus and species.
