<u>Explanation</u>
The family is missing from the Linnaean system of classification that is used for nested hierarchy. Carolus Linnaean worked for the taxonomy. It is the system of classifying and naming organisms. This system includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Linnaeus presented us with a uniform way to identify species called binomial nomenclature.
