Classification System
Categorization systems are divided into two types:
- Carolus Linnaeus developed the Two-kingdom categorization system, which divided life into two types: flora and fauna
- Whittaker proposed the Five-Kingdom Classification, he divided species into five groups
Basis of Classification
Cells are one of the most important characteristics of living beings because they are the basic beginning of life. They are the basic unit of life that perform specific functions. All of these cells combine to form a tissue. All over the world, there is an abundance of living organisms. Mega biodiversity regions are those which are humid and warm because they provide the optimum temperature and nutrients for the growth of species. More than half of the world’s biodiversity is accounted for by twelve countries. India is also a part of it. To know more about the species, it is essential to place them or classify them on basis of their functions or properties.
