Morphological identification
Morphological identification involves examining the physical features of an organism to determine its species or classification. This method considers characteristics like shape, size, color, structure of specific body parts, and pattern arrangements. By carefully analyzing these traits, scientists can distinguish between different species, even those that look similar. It's a fundamental approach in biology that relies on observable traits, often used for plants, animals, or microscopic organisms, helping researchers accurately identify and categorize organisms based on their outward appearance and form.
