Answer:

Details of internal and external body structures

Step-by-step explanation:

Morphology/anatomy is considered more relevant than behavior or general appearance in the classification of organisms. It is due to these anatomical features that animals such as bats are classified differently from birds (with bats classified as mammals even though they fly like birds) due to differences in anatomical features like milk-producing glands and brain structure.
