A classification system is a way of organizing and grouping data so that it can be compared with other data. The type of classification system used depends on what the data is intended to measure. In biology, the Linnaean system classifies living organisms into groups based on their observable characteristics and anatomical features. The Linnaean system uses the following taxonomic ranks, from most inclusive to least inclusive: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, Strain. In the Linnaean system, organisms are first divided into kingdoms, then into phyla,...
