Question

Why is it important to have a clear classification system in life science?

Answer 1

It's because it makes it easier to study organisms.

Explanation:

There are a lot of known organisms in the world. So, scientists classify them into groups, so that similar organisms are in the same group. This makes it clear and also helps them know which organism descended from which (evolution).

Think about this like you would sort your school subjects' assignments. You might want to sort your chemistry assignments together, biology assignments together, history assignments together, etc. so that you can keep track of them, as well as making the whole process more efficient.

By classifying, scientists can study families of organisms and see their similarities and differences, as well as see unique traits to each kingdom.
