Biological classification groups living organisms based on their shared characteristics, reproduction, mobility, appearance, and functionality. Simply put, it is like a system of filling cards in the library. Each card represents a species and is filled in the order in a folder with other species with the same similarities or characteristics (Khawaldeh et al., 2017).
