What is the plural form of the term 'taxon' used in taxonomy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Taxa

Correct answer: A. A taxon is a taxonomic unit or group at any recognised rank, such as a species, genus, family, or kingdom. The singular word is taxon, and its standard plural form is taxa. For example, a genus can be one taxon, while several genera or other recognised groups can be referred to as taxa. B, “taxons,” is sometimes encountered in informal English usage, but taxa is the standard biological plural expected in taxonomy. C means the science or practice of classification and is not a plural form. D is an English word associated with taxes and has no taxonomic meaning. The word comes from a classical language pattern, which explains why its plural does not simply add an English ending. Memory cue: “One taxon, many taxa.”
