Answer: founder of taxonomy
Explanation:
Carolus Linnaeus is a Swiss scientist that introduced the taxonomy (the formal system of classification used for biological purposes).
He first split living things into a general category called KINGDOM, then into large smaller groups called PHYLUM (for animals) and DIVISION (for plants). Each phylum or division is then broken down into CLASSES, then broken down into ORDERS, then into FAMILIES, then into GENUS, and finally into SPECIES
Thus, the taxonomy as founded by Carolus Linnaeus shows classification from highest (most general category) to the lowest level as follows:
Kingdom --> phylum/division --> class --> order --> family --> genus --> species
