Sample Solution

Classification and nomenclature are intertwined concepts, but they serve distinct purposes. Classification refers to the hierarchical organization of things into groups based on shared characteristics. It’s the “filing cabinet” system, organizing items into categories and subcategories. Nomenclature, on the other hand, is the system of names assigned to those classified groups and entities. It’s the labeling system for the “files” in the cabinet.

For example, the biological classification system groups organisms into kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. Nomenclature assigns scientific names to each organism, like Homo sapiens for humans. (Reference [invalid URL removed], p.2))
