On earth, millions of plants, animals, and microorganisms are found. Many of these have been identified by scientists, while many new species are still being discovered around the world. Over time, scientists have attempted to develop a classification system based on evolutionary relationships and morphological,\u202f physiological,\u202f and\u202freproductive\u202fsimilarities. The classification system is changing because the criteria for classification have changed. Depending on improvements in our understanding of characteristics and evolutionary relationships, similar changes will occur in the future too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Why are the classification systems changing now and then?
