Introduction

The organisms are subdivided into 5 kingdoms. The 5 kingdoms are Kingdom Animalia, Kingdom Monera, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, and Kingdom Plantae. This website is a portfolio, which the objective is to describe the differences or the uniqueness of each kingdoms and to give a better understanding on the concept of Taxonomy and 5 Kingdoms of Life.

Taxonomy

Taxonomy is a branch of biology that deals with naming or identifying and classifying organism. Taxonomy basically groups the organism based on similarities, which is also known as classifying. Then, why classify or why do we need taxonomy? Since there are too many organisms, unless we organize them, it is very hard to find or specify them. Secondly, taxonomy creates an universal language, which is the scientific name for the species. Lastly, taxonomy shows evolutionary relationship or the ancestral traits.  Linnaeus or Carl von Linne is the father of Taxonomy and he is 18th century botanist and zoologist. The Hierarchy of Taxa goes from general to specific, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Below is the table of example on the Hierarchy of taxa of species Human.
