Taxonomy

A taxonomy (táxis = order, nómos = law) is a standardised procedure or model (classification scheme) with which objects are classified according to certain criteria and arranged in categories or classes.

Living organisms Main categories

In biology (the science of living things), living things are categorised hierarchically into groups according to their natural relationship, whereby six main categories are distinguished. These are animals (Animalia), plants (Plantae), fungi (Fungi), protists (Protista), bacteria (Bacteria) and archaea (Archaea). Viruses are not classified as living organisms as they do not have their own metabolism, cannot reproduce independently and do not exhibit any life processes outside a host cell (which they usually destroy).
