Botanical taxonomy

Botanical taxonomy is the scientific system used to classify, name, and organize plants. It groups plants based on shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships, creating a structured hierarchy from broad categories like families and genera to specific species. This system helps botanists identify plants accurately, understand their relationships, and communicate about them universally. It’s akin to organizing books in a library by genres, authors, and titles, ensuring clarity and consistency in plant identification and study worldwide.
