Taxonomy is the scientific classification of organisms into a hierarchical system. It involves naming, describing, and grouping organisms based on shared characteristics.
The main ranks, from broadest to most specific, are: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. For example, humans are in the Domain Eukarya, Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia, Order Primates, Family Hominidae, Genus Homo, and Species sapiens.
