Biological Classification is the scientific study of arranging organisms into group and subgroup on the basis of their similarities and dissimilarities and placing the group in a hierarchy of categories.

The purpose of biological classification is to organise the vast number of known plants into categories that could be named, remembered and studied.

Objectives of Biological Classification

– To identity and describe all the possible types of species.
