Explanation: Aristotle, a Greek scientist, organized living things before many other scientists. It is a scientific discipline known as taxonomy to classify living things. The first classification system was created by Aristotle, who separated all known organisms into two categories: plants and animals.To divide plants into trees, shrubs, and herbs, he used straightforward morphological characteristics. Additionally, he classified animals into three groups according to their habitats. However, the classification wasn't accurate. Except for a small number, none of the animals in each group share anything in common besides their habitat.
