The Five Kingdoms - Taxonomy

Taxonomy

Taxonomy is the classification of organisms. The most common system in use today is the Five Kingdoms system of classification. In this system all organisms are divided into five kingdoms: Monera (Prokaryota), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Organisms in each kingdom are divided into phyla. In each phylum, organisms are separated into classes. In each class, organisms are segregated into orders. In each order, organisms are divided into families. In each family, organisms are separated by genus. And finally, in each genus organisms are divided into species. Just remember that King Philip Can Order For German Students.
