Abstract
Taxonomy is a study of organisms for their identification, description, naming and classification. This field classifies organisms into categories and groups based on their characteristics. It is therefore a methodology that helps in organising plants and animals in hierarchies of higher ranking and subordinate groups. The term is derived from the Greek taxis (―arrangement‖) and nomos (―law‖). The taxonomic classification given by Carl Linnaeus in 1750 is globally accepted.
