Plant & Animal Classification Guide (Biological Taxonomy) – Fauna Facts

This Classification System Science Lesson includes printable activities to learn more about taxonomy, the orderly classification of plants and animals.

The internationally accepted taxonomic nomenclature is the Linnaean system created by Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus, who drew up rules for assigning names to plants and animals.

In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy.
