Uses of the Classification

• For the convenient study of organisms, around us, it is important to classify them.
• For better information about organisms, it is important to know the different varieties of organisms which can only be understandable by classification.
• To know the origin and evolution of organisms it is important to classify them.
• The exact position of an organism is determined by classification.
• Phylogenetic relation between another group of organisms can be determined by the classification of organisms.
• For the correct identification of organisms, it is very much needed to classify them in the proper classification system.
• Classification of organisms makes it easier for us to study and memorize them.

An organism with a different sizes, shapes, modes of nutrition, reproduction mode, habitat, etc. exists on the planet earth. In every species, there are hundreds of similar species which are found to show similar characteristics. Diversity among the living species increases day by day as every day new species are getting discovered so to make their study easy it is very important to categorize these species in an order in which we can remember them that’s why the hierarchy groups are formed to make a better understanding of the species. All the animals may vary in many things like shape, size, nutrition, reproduction, habitat, etc. but they all carry one thing in common i.e., cells. As we all know that all the functions and metabolic activities in our body are performed by cells and these are the building blocks of the body. Tissue is formed from a group of cells that perform similar functions as a group together. The level of organization varies in every organism. The more advance the animal is more advanced its level of organization will be. Diversity can be seen on the basis of many different things like temperature, land, water, etc. Some species can look alike but the genetic makeup of every species is different even if they belong to the same group. This genetic material makes every species unique in its own way. In the evolution over million years, a wide variety of diversity has developed in living species. Human beings have now become homo sapiens from ape-like creatures. To divide species into categories similarities in species are considered.
