Meaning of "taxonomy" in English

Taxonomy is the science of classification, which involves systematically categorizing and naming organisms based on shared characteristics and natural relationships. In biology, it is essential for organizing biological diversity into a structured system that reflects evolutionary relationships. Taxonomy aids in identifying species and understanding their relationships, both in terms of evolution and ecology. Beyond biology, the term can also refer to any system for categorizing items or concepts into hierarchical structures.
