1. Why are living organisms classified?
Living organisms are classified because of the following reasons:
1. Due to a large variety of life forms on the earth, it becomes difficult to study each of the species, thus scientists classify these species into larger groups, wherein by studying a group, we can deduce the characteristics of all the species. Hence living organisms are classified for the ease of studying them.
2. Classifying organisms into groups and sub-groups may also aid in establishing evolutionary relationships between them.
