Question

In the early 1700s, Linnaeus came up with a new system of classification of living things that eventually replaced the one that had been used since Aristotle developed it in ancient Greece about 2000 years earlier. Why was a change necessary? A new system was needed to include the new species that had evolved, since the original classification system was developed. So many new species were being discovered, it was impossible to arrange them all in a hierarchy based on relative complexity of species. A system based on differences in physical characteristics was no longer sufficient to describe all that was known about living things. There was no way in Aristotle's system to classify the microscopic organisms discovered after the development of the microscope.

Answer 1

Many biological systems classify the organism based on the cells, reproduction, simplicity and complexity. The discovery of the new species and arrangement based on the hierarchy led to the change.

What was the new classification system?

Aristotle gave the most primitive biological hierarchical classification system that was replaced by the system of the Linnaeus. He gave the classification based on the taxonomy groups.

With time many new organisms and species were discovered that did not fit in Aristotle's classification system. Hence, with time new systems were established to classify the organism based on many new parameters.

Therefore, option A. new system was established to classify the new organism discovered.
