Answer:

TRADITIONAL CLASSIFICATION: based on similar appearance ; known as Linnaean classification

MODERN CLASSIFICATION: based on evolutionary relationships; known as Cladistics

Step-by-step explanation:

The older classification systems were based on the morphological similarities between the organisms. One such classification was given by Linnaeus who classified plants based on the morphology of flowers and fruits.

On the other hand, the present day classification system lay more stress on evolutionary relationships of organisms. Cladistics is the system of classification that classifies organisms based on their common ancestry and does not take into consideration of morphological similarities.
