What is biological classification important?

Classification is important because it allows scientists to identify, group, and properly name organisms via a standardized system (Linnaeus Taxonomy); based on similarities found in the organisms DNA/RNA (genetics), Adaptations (Evolution), and Embryonic development (Embryology) to other known organisms to better study and understand the new organism as a whole. In order to do this it is very important for scientists to have first agreed upon a standardized system or approach to naming and classifying an organism because without it unknown organisms could be classified differently around the world creating confusion. However, by only using the modern international taxonomic approach (domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species) first proposed by Linnaeus, all organisms are named and grouped in the same manner making them more easy to study and keep track of.
