What is the act of putting organisms into different slots called?

Answer 1

The act of putting organisms into different slots is classification.

We can find commonalities between various organisms and organize our knowledge of the incredibly diverse range of living forms, both extant and historical, by using classification.

We can study a few and then make broad conclusions about the class thanks to the commonality finding. (It is not possible to study every organism on Earth.)

We can now recognize patterns and look past outward similarities thanks to classification; for example, whales and bats are not the same as fish or birds.

Using the tools of modern molecular biology, classification has contributed to the stronger foundation of the theory of evolution.

Classification has improved human health by allowing us to take advantage of organisms that produce antibiotics.
