- Common organisms like housefly, man, mango, and wheat belong to specific taxonomic groups
- The table shows the relationship between common names, biological names, genus, family, order, class, and phylum/division.
Taxonomical Aids
- Studies of various organisms are essential for agriculture, forestry, industry for bio-resources and biodiversity research
- Correct identification and classification of organisms require intensive lab and fieldwork
- Collection of specimens is crucial for taxonomic study
- Specimens are stored alongside gathered information about the organism
- Procedures and techniques exist to preserve specimens and information for further study
Herbarium
- A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens
- Plant specimens are dried, pressed, and preserved on sheets
- These sheets are arranged for easy access and study.
