1. Application of Classification

• Classification systems improve our ability to explain relationships among things.
• ·Classification helps in identifying living organisms into their correct groups for reference.
• Classification helps in avoiding chaos and confusion when dealing with animals as it arranges the information on organisms in an orderly manner.
•  Classification brings together living organisms with similar characteristics together but separates those with different features.
• Taxonomic systems provide relatively stable, unique, and unequivocal names for organisms
•  It makes the study of such a wide variety of organisms easy.
• It projects before us a good picture of all life forms at a glance.
•  It helps us understand the interrelationship among different groups of organisms.It serves as a base for the development of other biological sciences such as biogeography etc.
• Various fields of applied biology such as agriculture, public health and environmental biology depend on classification of pests, disease vectors, pathogens and components of an ecosystem.
