Carl Linnaeus, also known as Carl von Linné or Carolus Linnaeus, is often called the Father of Taxonomy. His system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms is still in wide use today (with many changes).

Answer: Carolus Linnaeus

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlos Linnaeus created the binomial nomenclature system which gives scientific names to animals. Their genus and species is what classifies organisms.

Linnaeus also created the taxonomic system, which classifies organisms within different groups and subsets.
