What is the advantage of grouping organisms in a systematic manner?

A localized group of organisms that belong to the same species is called a?
=)Population: when a localized group of organisms belong to the same species. (=
What is the highest subgroup for classifying organisms?
Kingdom is the highest subgroup for classifying organisms.
Is there a correct way to classify organisms?
Organisms are classified by similarities. Start with a large variety of organisms and as the group gets more specific it will narrow down.
Who was the first person to group organisms?
In the mid 1700's Carolus Linnaeus began to organize and group organisms.
Did Carolus linnaeus group plants and animals based on their structural likeness?

What was the smallest group according to linnaeus's classification system?

What were Carolus Linnaeus's main contribution to taxonomy?
he created binomial nomenclature, a naming system in which a new species is named with their genus name (the second smallest group aside from species) and then their species, a genus name can also be considered as a family (last) name as if it were a human name. carolus linnaeus also inspired many modern day taxonomy ideas, such as the 5 kingdom idea, and the kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species idea, before linnaeus' work, classification was based on some aristotle's work, which would never be accepted by modern day taxonomists.
What a group of organisms and their environment?
A group of organisms and their environment is a biome.
What is the importance of the linnaeus naming system for living things?
Carl Linnaeus's work was important because he was the first person to put together a system for the naming of organisms (specifically plants).In his "Systema Naturea" he described his concept of "Binomeal Nomenclature" where a plant (later expanded to all organisms) is classified into groups with other organisms that share characteristics (like plants with plants, and animals that have spines with animals that have spines). The Genus and Species, the most specific of all these groups, are both given to a species as it's scientific name. An example of this is "Homo Sapien" the Binomial Nomenclature for Humans, where Homo (meaning man) is the genus, which includes all manlike great apes, and Genus (meaning wise) which is only given to humans.He also helped catalog and research many diverse plant species around the world during his travels.'The Father of Taxonomy'Carl Linnaeus is widely regarded in science as "the father of taxonomy."Simply put, Mr. Linnaeus is responsible for the way we group animals and plants today.He thought it would be a pretty neat idea to group animals and plants according to their similar features; in this way we could know how closely related these organisms are to one another.Nowadays, however, small doubts are arising as to whether how an organism looks aesthetically is the best way to group them. So some organisms are being shifted about and reclassified by the similarities in their genomes rather than appearance.Nevertheless, it is still Linnaeus's idea of classification that remains with us today.
