Artifical system of classification |
| Answer» The ordering of organisms into groups on the basis of non-evolutionary features (e.g. the grouping together of plants according to the number and situation of their stamens, styles, and stigmas rather than their evolutionary relationships). An artificial system of classification is based upon one or a few easily observable characteristics, and is devised and used for a limited purpose where convenience and speed are important. It conveys little information. | |
