Carolus Linnaeus, often called the "Father of Taxonomy," proposed an artificial system of classification (also known as the sexual system) in his work Species Plantarum (1753). He classified the plant kingdom primarily based on the number, length, and arrangement of stamens and carpels, which are key components of floral morphology. By focusing on these specific reproductive structures, he divided plants into 24 classes.
