Erläuterung
Carolus Linnaeus is the father of taxonomy, which is the system of classifying and naming organisms.
One of his contributions was the development of a hierarchical system of classification of nature.
Today, this system includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
