Taxonomy
is the name given to the science of studying how living things are
classified on the tree of life. There are five domains shown on the
tree of life today, but scientists believe that extremeophiles are
so different from other bacteria, viruses, and fungi that a sixth
domain should be added. Once scientists have studied extremophiles
and discovered enough about them, they will add the new domain, Archaea.
