What practical value does taxonomy have?

Answer 1

Taxonomy is the study of naming and classification of groups of organisms.

It is essential to the comprehension of biology in general and aids in the classification of organisms according to shared characteristics.

Studying biodiversity and conservation is fundamentally important. Estimating the amount of diversity is unrealistic without a working classification of the organisms present in a given area. Taxonomic work affects both the scientific community's and society's overall conservation efforts.
