What is the literal meaning of the word 'Taxonomy'?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Lawful arrangement or rules of classification

Correct answer: A. The word taxonomy comes from Greek roots: taxis, meaning arrangement or order, and nomos, meaning law or rule. Therefore, its literal meaning is the rules or principles of arrangement. In biology, taxonomy is broader than naming alone: it includes identifying, describing, naming and classifying organisms. A is correct because it gives the literal root meaning and relates it to biological classification. B is incorrect because the internal structure of organisms is studied through anatomy and related disciplines. C is incorrect because plant diseases belong mainly to plant pathology. D is incomplete and therefore incorrect: nomenclature is the naming part of taxonomy, but taxonomy includes several other activities as well. Memory cue: taxis = arrangement, nomos = rule.
