Explanation:

Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish Botanist, who was regarded as the FATHER OF TAXONOMY because of his contribution to developing a system of naming and classifying species that is still widely used today. He was the first to create a system for naming organisms.

Linnaeus classified organisms using an hierarchical grouping system called TAXA. He classified organisms into a large group called KINGDOM, which was the least specific. Kingdom was further divided into PHYLUM, phylum into CLASS, class into ORDER, order into FAMILY, family into GENUS, genus into SPECIES, which were the smallest and most specific taxon. Although these hierarchical system of classification was later modified by the addition and removal of grouped organisms, Linnaeus classification still remains the basis/foundation for classifying organisms.
