Classification

Real World Example

Imagine you're organizing your messy closet, trying to find a way to sort clothes in a manageable way. Just like you might group shirts, pants, and jackets together based on their type or season, scientists classify items by grouping them according to similar characteristics. In both cases, the goal is to create order out of chaos by categorizing items into distinct groups, making it easier to find what you need, whether it's your favorite sweater or the right species for a research study.
