Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

A taxonomic key (like a dichotomous key) is used to identify plants and animals.

It works by comparing similarities and differences between traits of organisms, step by step, until the correct species is determined.

Morphology and anatomy are important, but the key focuses on overall similarities and dissimilarities, not just one aspect.
