• Systematics is the branch of biology that deals with classification, identification, and naming of organisms, along with their evolutionary relationships.

• The term “systematics” was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus, who is also known as the father of modern taxonomy.

• Later scientists like Mayr, Bentham, and Hutchinson contributed to concepts and methods within systematics, but Linnaeus coined the term.
