How did Linnaeus help develop the modern system of taxonomy?

To name a few, species (a term coined by Linnaeus) is at the bottom, followed by genus, family, order, class, and phylum.

In what he calls "binomial nomenclature," two words (virtually akin to a double-barrel surname, such as Shellman-Reeve) are used to assign a Latinized or scientific name to any known and identifiable organism, such as the domestic dog's Canis familiaris. The genus is capitalized, but the species is not, and both are typically given in italics (de-italicized only in wholly italicized text) or underlined separately in handwritten texts.

In cases where the species is not certain, it can be shortened to Canis sp. (the last part is not italicized). If the genus is given in full, it can be shortened to the first capital letter, for example, C. familiaris or C. lupus (wolf). Subspecies can be added as a third word to the name, for example, C. familiaris indagator for a Pointer dog. Some taxonomists prefer C. lupus familiaris for dogs, encompassing all breeds.

Moreover, Linnaeus's work laid the foundation for organizing and naming the vast diversity of life on Earth, providing a framework that is still used by biologists today. Linnaeus developed the modern system of taxonomy by introducing binomial nomenclature, which is the system of naming organisms with two Latin words: the genus and species. He also classified organisms based on shared physical characteristics, creating a hierarchical system of classification that grouped similar organisms together.
