Basic processes of taxonomy:-

• Characteristics: It is the understanding of characters of organisms such as external and internal structure, structure of cell, development process, ecological information, etc.
• Identification: It is the correct description of the organism so that the naming is possible.
• Classification: It is the grouping of organisms into convenient categories (taxa) based on characters.
• Nomenclature (naming): It is the standardization of names of the organisms, such that an organism is known by the same name all over the world
• The system of naming with two components is called Binomial nomenclature. It is proposed by Linnaeus.
• Botanical names are based on the International Code for Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN).
• Zoological names are based on the International Code for Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN).
