Biology+Classification+System

The classification system is a method used by biologists to group and categorize organisms by biological type, such as genus or species. Biological classification is a form of taxonomy it comes from the work of Carlous Linnaeus. Carlous came up with the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature, witch grouped species according to shared physical characteristics. There are 7 main taxonomic ranks: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, order, family, genus, species. These are what determines how the species will be classified.
