Answer 2

Classification system involves the categorization of living organisms that makes their identification and study easy. In this system, the organisms are classified starting from a broad category progressively to a much narrower group based on the unique characteristics of the organisms. In common classification system, the seven ranks of classification are Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
