Taxonomy

Taxonomy By Image

A taxonomy is a system for organizing and classifying objects or concepts based on their shared characteristics or relationships. It provides a framework for understanding and communicating information about a particular subject, and can be used to support research, analysis, and decision-making in various fields. Taxonomies can take many forms, from simple hierarchies to complex networks, and are often used in science, technology, education, and business.
