The discipline of biology which deals with the kind and diversity of all organisms and the existing relationship amongest them is called systematics. The word ‘systematics’ is derived from Latin word  which means systematic arrangement of organisms. It was first used by Carolus Linnaeus. He used SystemaNaturae as the title of his publication. The scope of systematics was later enlarged to include identification, nomenclature and classification. Systematic takes into account evolutionary relationships between organisms.
