why is classification necessary?

The scientific grouping or classification of organisms has some specific advantages:

  • It makes the study of living organisms convenient.
  • It helps in the specific identification of any given organism.
  • The study of a few representatives from each distinct group helps us to integrate the idea of life as a whole.
  • It reveals the relationships among various groups of organisms.
  • It provides information about plants and animals, which occur in specific geographical regions.
  • It indicates the evolutionary relationship by establishing the gradually increasing complexity of form and structure in different groups of organisms.
