Benefits of ClassifyingBenefits of Classifying
•Accurately & uniformlyAccurately & uniformly names organisms names organisms
•Prevents Prevents misnomersmisnomers such such as starfish & jellyfish that as starfish & jellyfish that aren't really fish aren't really fish
•Uses Uses same language same language (Latin or some Greek)(Latin or some Greek) for for all names all names Sea”horseSea”horse
